space from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan
Province on Thursday, July 5, 2007.

XICHANG, Sichuan, July 6 - "Chinasat 6B", a French-made communications
satellite, rocketed into space from Xichang Satellite Launch Center in
southwest China's Sichuan Province on Thursday.
The satellite was lifted by a Chinese Long March-3B carrier rocket which
blasted off at 8:08 p.m. (Beijing Time) Thursday. It was the 101st launch
mission for the Long March series of carrier rockets.
The satellite separated from the rocket 26 minutes after lift-off,
entering its preset orbit.
"Chinasat 6B", manufactured by France's Alcatel Alenia Space, has a
designed lifespan of 15 years.
Fitted with 38 transponders, the satellite is expected to improve
telecommunications transmission for Asia, the Pacific and Oceania.
China on June 1 launched "SinoSat-3", a communications satellite for
radio and television broadcasting, with a Long March-3A carrier rocket,
the 100th flight of the Long March series.
