    China launched its second Long March 8 rocket carrying a domestic record 22 satellites for commercial Chinese companies. The successful launch demonstrated China's "carpooling" solution to launch many small satellites efficiently in a single mission. Payloads included Earth observation, technology demonstration, and Internet of Things satellites from manufacturers including Minospace, Spacety, and the China Academy of Sciences, to be operated by research institutes and remote sensing companies. This set a new record for the most satellites launched by China on a single rocket.
