Gaofen-5 has been lauded as the "flagship of the environment and atmosphere observation satellite in the CHEOS program". Launched on 8 May 2018 from Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center (TSLC) into Sun-synchronous orbit, Gaofen-5 carries six payloads: an Advanced Hyperspectral Imagery sensor (AHSI), Atmospheric Infrared Ultraspectral Sensor (AIUS), Directional Polarization Camera (DPC), Environment ...

Ziyuan 3-01 or ZY 3-01 (Chinese: 资源三号 meaning Resources 3) is a Chinese Earth observation satellite launched in January 2012. It is a high-resolution imaging satellite operated by the Ministry of Land and Resources of the People's Republic of China.
Shijian-21 then moved to an orbit 3,000 kilometers higher where it released the Beidou G2 satellite into graveyard orbit and returned to GEO. [28] [29] [30] Many observers suspect the spacecraft, like many of China's Yaogan and Gaofen satellites, serve primarily military purposes under the cover of more mundane missions.
The third satellite of the Tongxin Jishu Shiyan program, TJS-3, is still largely shrouded in secrecy with observers unable to determine if the satellite performs an early warning or signals intelligence mission. [17] Said to have only had one payload aboard during its 2018 launch, observers detected a secondary object separate from TJS-3 in orbit.
Yunhai-3 01 was launched on November 11, 2022, aboard a Long March 6A rocket from LC-9A at Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in China. It was launched into a sun-synchronous orbit and given the COSPAR ID "2022-151A". It was placed into an ~856 x 855 km orbit with an inclination of 98.8 degrees. The satellite is still in operation as of March 29 ...
