China Launches New Remote-Sensing Satellite 

On April 15, 2024, China launched a Long March-2D carrier rocket, placing a remote-sensing satellite into space. 

The rocket blasted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China and sent the Gaojing-3 01 satellite into the preset orbit. The satellite will provide commercial remote-sensing data services for emerging scenarios such as digital agriculture, urban information modeling and live 3D, as well as traditional fields including land surveying and mapping, disaster prevention and mitigation, and maritime monitoring.
