China will launch a remote-sensing satellite, "Yaogan IX" in the coming days from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern Gansu Province, an official at the center said Thursday.
The satellite would be sent into space aboard a Long March 4C carrier rocket, the official said, without specifying the exact date.
Currently, the satellite and rocket are in good condition, according to the official.
Its predecessor, "Yaogan VIII," was launched from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in northern Shanxi Province in December.
