[Photo by Wang Jiangbo/chinadaily.com.cn] China launched its latest oceanographic research satellite, the HY-2D, on a Long March 4B carrier rocket from the Gobi Desert on Wednesday morning, according to the China National Space Administration. The administration said in a statement that the satellite, which lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the Inner Mongolia autonomous region, is tasked with working with its two predecessors - the HY-2B and the HY-2C - to form a space-based network monitoring the dynamic marine environment around the clock.

The HY-2C was launched in September last year by the same type of rocket from the Jiuquan center. Source: Xinhua News Agency
