Data obtained by the Yaogan family, the major series of remote-sensing spacecraft in China, has been widely used in governments, public service sectors and businesses.
The Long March 4B rocket model is built by the Shanghai academy. It can transport multiple satellites with a combined weight of 2.5 metric tons to a typical sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 700 kilometers.
The space mission was China's 39th rocket launch this year and the 533rd flight of the Long March rocket family, the nation's main launch vehicle fleet.
