Part of the Jilin-1 Gaofen-03 sub-series' earlier expansion phase, launched in 2020 before the sub-series scaled into the mass-produced Gaofen-03D generation. Gaofen-3E and its immediate siblings represent an intermediate design iteration between the constellation's founding satellites and the eventual industrial-scale Gaofen-03D production line.
