A Jilin-1 Gaofen-03D satellite launched in the November 2022 Ceres-1 batch mission, one of the earlier-numbered units in Chang Guang's largest single imaging sub-series. The Gaofen-03D program's rapid numerical growth — from single digits to over 60 satellites within a few years — illustrates the sheer velocity of China's commercial Earth observation build-out during this period.
