At 12:03 on April 14, 2026, my country successfully launched eight Jilin-1 constellation Gaofen 07 series satellites using the China Aerospace Lijian-1 Yao-12 launch vehicle in the Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Test Zone, and all entered the predetermined orbit smoothly.
The eight new satellites are:The "lucky star" has a high score of 07A02-04 stars, the "lucky star" has a high score of 07B02-04 stars, and the "lucky star" has a high score of 07C02-03 stars.
They all belong to the "Jixing" Gaofen 07 series satellites, which are new operational satellites developed by Changguang Satellite. They are all high-resolution optical remote sensing satellites that can adapt to the rapid response needs of multiple types of tasks such as hot spot imaging, stereoscopic imaging, and space target imaging.
The positioning accuracy and geometric quality of this series of satellite image products have been greatly improved. It also has independent mission planning and AI algorithm on-orbit update capabilities. It can obtain high-definition images with a resolution better than 0.5m, and has the characteristics of "stable, reliable, and intelligent".
in,High score 07A03 star (Postal Bank number)It is a high-precision, high-resolution optical remote sensing satellite jointly built by Changguang Satellite and the Postal Savings Bank of China. It will promote the in-depth application of domestic satellite remote sensing data in financial scenarios such as overseas projects, reserve forests, high-standard farmland, and new energy, and provide objective and efficient data support for credit decision-making and risk management.
It can collect high-definition panchromatic images and support co-orbital stereoscopic imaging and agile imaging. The spectral band covers five dimensions: panchromatic, blue, green, red, and near-infrared. The imaging modes cover conventional push broom, stereoscopic imaging, strip splicing, inertial space imaging, etc., and can provide high-precision, multi-dimensional image data support for related businesses.
This mission is the 35th launch of the "Jilin-1" satellite project, with a total of 152 satellites launched in orbit. It is the world's largest sub-meter commercial remote sensing constellation. It is planned to achieve all-weather coverage with 300 satellites by 2027.
This is the 12th flight of Lijian-1 (with only one failure), and it is also the first flight of its "flight-based launch" this year.
So far,Lijian-1 has launched a total of 92 satellites into space, with the total mass of the orbital load exceeding 12 tons.
In July 2022, the Lijian-1 rocket successfully made its first flight, mainly targeting the micro-satellite launch market.
In June 2023, Lijian-1 Yaoer successfully launched "26 satellites in one rocket", setting a new record for my country's highest number of satellites in one rocket at that time.
At present, Lijian No. 1 can achieve an annual output of more than 10 rounds, and the final assembly and test cycle has been compressed to one month. The subsequent goal is to achieve an annual output of 30 rounds.
Recently,Lijian-1 will also implement the first sea launch to meet the requirements of small-inclination satellite missions.
