GF-3 was launched on August 9, 2016.
The satellite was placed into orbit by a Long March-3B launch vehicle from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre on 29 December 2015.
GF-3 was launched on August 9, 2016.Gaofen-4 was developed by CAST and is based on the new GEO remote-sensing satellite bus. Gaofen-2, sent into space in August 2014, is accurate to 0.8 meters in full color and can collect multispectral images of objects greater than 3.2 meters in length.
Gaofen-4 and Fengyun series satellite have strong complementarities. Both covers visible light to NIR bands.On June 26, 2015, China launched the Gaofen-8 satellite. Further down the road, Gaofen-7 will fly a hyper-spectral stereo imaging payload currently penciled in for launch no earlier than 2018. The spacecraft is the 4th Gaofen series spacecraft to be launched in China’s High-Definition Earth Observation Satellite (HDEOS) program. Gaofen-4 was launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre in the southwestern province of Sichuan aboard a Long March-3B carrier rocket. Gaofen-4, launched in late 2015, is China's first geosynchronous orbit high-definition optical imaging satellite. Launched in April 2013, Gaofen-1 can cover the globe in just four days. Gaofen-10 was lost on August 31, 2016 when problems developed with its launch vehicle. It was launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center at 16:05 UTC on Dec. 28, 2016. Both covers visible light to NIR bands.On June 26, 2015, China launched the Gaofen-8 satellite. It is designed for 8 years and was launched on May 8, 2018, using a Long March-4C rocket from Taiyuan.A Long March-2D orbited the Gaofen-6 satellite out of Jiuquan on June 2, 2018. Die Auflösung ist im sichtbaren Bereich besser als 50 m und im infraroten besser als 400 m. Die Aufnahmegröße beträgt etwa 400 × 400 km.

The satellite was placed into orbit by a Long March-3B launch vehicle from the Xichang Satellite Launch Centre on 29 December 2015.Gaofen-5 employs SAST5000B bus and is configured with six types of payloads, including visible and short-wave infra hyperspectral camera, spectral imager, greenhouse gas detector, atmospheric environment infrared detector at the very high spectral resolution, differential absorption spectrometer for atmospheric trace gas, and multi-angle polarization detector.
It brought gale and heavy rain for Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Fujian, Guizhou and Taiwan.
On December 29 of 2015, China launched its most sophisticated observation satellite, Gaofen-4, as part of the country's high-definition (HD) earth observation project. The satellite had a designed lifespan of eight years and will mainly be used by the State Oceanic Administration (SOA) of China. At 3:35 a.m. on August 2, it made a landfall in Dapeng Peninsula, Shenzhen City of southern Chinaâs Guangdong Province. The satellite was launched from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center using a Long March-4B rocket.On September 14, 2015, another Gaofen satellite, Gaofen-9, was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, using a Long March-2D.
