Part of the same November 2022 five-satellite Gaofen-03D batch, contributing to the constellation's push toward the 100-satellite milestone that Chang Guang celebrated in June 2023. Each additional Gaofen-03D unit incrementally reduces the constellation's global revisit gap — the company's stated goal being coverage of any global location once every 10 minutes with the full constellation operational.
