A Long March 2D lifted off from Jiuquan at 19:41 Beijing time on Nov. 11 and placed the Origins Program Pathfinder satellites into orbit. The Chinese Academy of Sciences said four satellites launched as one stack for a two-year test in a 600 km sun-synchronous orbit, and that CASC's Eighth Academy built the rocket. Xinhua counted the flight as the 677th Long March mission.
