China successfully sent a new set of test satellites promoting internet technology into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the southwestern Sichuan Province on Sunday.

The satellites were launched at 02:07 (Beijing Time) aboard a Long March-2D carrier rocket and have entered their preset orbits.

These satellites will be mainly used to carry out technology tests and verifications, including direct satellite-to-phone broadband connectivity and space-ground network integration.

Sunday’s launch was the 646th flight mission of the Long March series carrier rockets.

Iran’s parliament is set to vote on a bill that would formalize the country’s management of the Strait of Hormuz, a senior lawmaker said Saturday, while the U.S.-led Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC) said Washington’s blockade of Iranian ports remains in place.

Alaeddin Salimi, a member of the Iranian parliament’s presiding board, told the country’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency that lawmakers had reached a final decision to codify the management of the Strait of Hormuz and expected the plan to become law.
