A Jilin-1 satellite from the early expansion phase of China's largest commercial Earth observation constellation, providing high-resolution imaging with a 3.3-day revisit cycle. As the fourth-numbered satellite in a program that would eventually exceed 130 spacecraft, Jilin-1 04 represents the constellation's formative period — before the mass-production techniques that later allowed China to launch dozens of Jilin-1 satellites in a single mission.
