China successfully launched a Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket to send five new satellites into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province on Monday.

The A to E satellites belonging to the Head-3 micro-satellite constellation were launched at 1:32 p.m. (Beijing Time), and entered the planned orbit successfully.

The satellites will mainly be used for providing commercial remote-sensing services.

The launch was the 27th mission undertaken with Kuaizhou-1A series rockets.
