On September 28, 2014 at 05:13 UTC the “Long March – 2B” (“Changzheng-2B”) rocket-carrier was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Jiuquan, Gansu Province, the northwest of China. The rocket orbited the “Shijian 11-07” satellite. China has not disclosed the purpose of the Shijian 11 satellite series other than classifying them as experimental missions. Some analysts believe the Shijian 11 satellites might be part of an early warning constellation to demonstrate missile detection for the Chinese military.
