Second satellite of the Yaogan-30 group 06 triplet, part of China's sixth naval surveillance formation. By this stage the Yaogan-30 program had matured into a routine, low-drama element of China's military space calendar — a new triplet arriving every year or so with minimal public fanfare or Western media coverage relative to more prominent Chinese space milestones.
