A Jilin-1 Gaofen-03D satellite from a December 2022 batch launch, part of the constellation's continuous expansion through late 2022 into 2023. Chang Guang's aggressive launch cadence during this period — multiple Gaofen-03D batches within weeks of each other — reflected the company's confidence in its manufacturing pipeline and its ambition to reach the 138-satellite target (later expanded to 300) well ahead of the original 2025 schedule.
