One of the Jilin-1 Gaofen-03D satellites contributing to the constellation's rapid late-2022 expansion phase. By this point Chang Guang was routinely launching batches of six to nine identical Gaofen-03D units per mission, a production and deployment cadence that pushed the total Jilin-1 constellation toward the 100-satellite milestone the company would achieve in mid-2023.
