## Caption

China launched a Long March-12 carrier rocket from the Hainan commercial spacecraft launch site in the southern island province of Hainan on Monday to send a group of internet satellites into space, just five days following the launch of a Long March-8A rocket from the same site.⁣
⁣
The Long March-12 launch mission was performed on the No. 2 launch pad of the commercial spacecraft launch site on Monday, while the launch of the Long March-8A was made on the No. 1 pad in this site on July 30.⁣
⁣
The dual launches meant that the Hainan commercial spacecraft launch site is capable of realizing dual-pad launches on the country's commercial spaceport just five days apart.⁣
⁣
As China's first commercial spacecraft launch site, the Hainan commercial spacecraft launch site commenced construction in July 2022. ⁣
