China sent two new experimental technology satellites into orbit from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Southwest China's Sichuan Province early on Saturday.

The satellites, G and H, were launched with a Long March-11 orbital carrier rocket at 4:13 am. 

Satellites G and H will be mainly used for the new Earth-observation technology experiment, the Global Times learned from China's space authority. 

The mission marked the 332nd flight of the Long March carrier rocket family.
