All five devices, including four satellites of the Jilin-1 Gaofen-03D series and one satellite of the Jilin-1 Gaofen-04A series, will be used to receive high-resolution photographs and videos of the earth’s surface. They will be used to assess the state of national land resources, urban planning, as well as in the aftermath of natural disasters and in other areas. The current launch was 418 in a row for launch vehicles of the Long March series.
