Chinese military satellite launched into orbit

A Long March rocket shot a Chinese intelligence-gathering satellite into orbit Wednesday. Consistent with China's usual communications policy for military space missions, official sources did not announce the launch in advance. China's state-run Xinhua news agency declared the launch successful. The Yaogan 19 satellite lifted off on a Long March 4C rocket at 0331 GMT Wednesday (10:31 p.m. EST Tuesday), or 11:31 a.m. Beijing time, from the Taiyuan launching center in northern China's Shanxi province.
