Lead satellite of the Yaogan-30 group 06 triplet, launched March 2020 as China resumed a steadier annual replenishment pace for the ELINT constellation. Group 06 arrived amid the early global COVID-19 disruption, a period during which China's launch cadence for military satellite programs notably did not slow, in contrast to significant delays experienced by commercial space programs worldwide.
