Rockets are used as engines to accelerate the satellite to a speed fast enough to get it in orbit.
It is at Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, Xichang Satellite Launch Center, and Jingyu.

You can not launch a satellite "in" earth or indeed "into" the Earth. To launch a satellite you need a rocket.
Design the satellite and choose a launch vehicle. Prepare the satellite for launch by testing and integrating it with the launch vehicle. Schedule a launch opportunity with a spaceport. Conduct a pre-launch check to ensure all systems are functioning properly. Launch the satellite into its designated orbit.
The speed of the PSLV-C20 rocket is 1560 km per second. PSLV stands for Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle. It was developed by the Indian Space Research Organization.
Currently any satellite must be launched on a rocket to reach space, though ideas for non-rocket launch exist.

A launch system includes the launch vehicle, the launch pad and other infrastructure.[1] Usually the payload is an artificial satellite placed into orbit, but some spaceflights are sub-orbital while others enable spacecraft to escape Earth orbit entirely. A launch vehicle which carries its payload on a suborbital trajectory is often called a sounding rocket
France was the third country to build and launch both its own satellite and rocket into space (Diamant rocket, Astérix satellite, November 26, 1965). The United Kingdom was the third country to have a satellite launched into space (Ariel, April 26th, 1962), but this satellite was built and launched by the United States. Canada was the third country to build its own satellite, but it was launched by the United State (Alouette 1 sept 29 1962).
Rockets primarily are used to launch satellites into space. Alternatively, the space shuttle is used for very large satellites, but that option will no longer be available when the fleet is retired at the end of 2010.
The fuel consumption of a rocket launch can vary, but as a rough estimate, a single rocket launch uses several hundred thousand gallons of fuel.
