RABAT, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- Morocco on Wednesday launched successfully its second Earth-observation satellite, according to video and statement from the launching base.

The satellite, called Mohammed 6-B, was launched from the European spaceport in French Guiana on the northern coast of South America.
