The rocket blasted off at 9:36 am (Beijing Time) from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China and soon sent the Fengyun-3 07 satellite into its preset orbit.
The satellite will provide services for weather forecasting, disaster prevention and mitigation, climate change response and ecological conservation.
The mission marked the 471st flight of the Long March carrier rockets, according to the launch center.
