Summary
China launched Communication Technology Experiment Satellites 27A/B aboard a Long March 6A rocket from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center at 09:00 on July 30, placing both satellites into their designated orbits. The satellites are described as supporting communications, broadcast television, and data transmission while conducting unspecified technical experiments — standard cover language for this series that documents another increment in China's dual-use communications constellation but does not, on its own, establish military mission or orbital parameters.
