China launched a Long March-8 rocket to place 22 satellites in space on Sunday, setting a domestic record for the most spacecraft launched by a single rocket. The rocket blasted off at 11:06 a.m. from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in the southern Hainan province, before sending the satellites into preset orbit.
北京时间2月27日11时06分，我国在文昌航天发射场使用长征八号运载火箭成功将22颗卫星发射升空，送入预定轨道，创造我国一箭多星新纪录。
These satellites will then be released in 12 groups.
火箭在进入太空轨道后将分12批次释放卫星。


They will be mainly used for commercial remote sensing services, marine environment monitoring, forest fire prevention and disaster mitigation.
卫星主要用于提供商业遥感信息、海洋环境监测、森林防火减灾等服务。
