A Long March-2C rocket carrying the HY-1C satellite took off at 11:15 a.m. from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China's Shanxi Province. The satellite HY-1C will help monitor ocean color and water temperatures among others, providing basic data for research on the global oceanic environment, according to the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.
