    A statement released by the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Northwest China's Gobi Desert said the Turkish satellite, the GK-2, was launched at 12:13 am and was delivered into its predetermined orbit by a Long March 2D carrier rocket.

    It marked the 174th flight of the Long March series of carrier rockets.

    The launch of the Turkish satellite was based on a contract signed by the China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation in May 2011.

    The CGWIC is an organization authorized by the government to provide satellite in-orbit delivery, commercial launch services and aerospace technology applications in China, according to the company's website.

    The satellite, jointly developed by Turkey's Space Technologies Research Institute and Turkish Aerospace Industries, Inc, will mainly be used for environmental protection, mineral resource exploration, urban planning and disaster monitoring and management, the statement said.

    China successfully sent 28 satellites or spacecraft into space via 19 launches this year, it said, adding that the most significant achievement was the country's first manned space docking maneuvers conducted in June, it said.

    Next year, China will carry out a manned space docking test between the orbiting target module Tiangong-1 and the Shenzhou-10 spacecraft. It will also send the Chang'e-3 moon probe into space, which is expected to land and stay on the moon in the second stage of the country's lunar probe program.

    The country plans to send nearly 20 satellites into space in 2013, it said.
