Launches In Date Order

The table lists all launches by China under the name Gaofen. They have used a range of different launch vehicles and have been launched from Jiuquan, Taiyuan and Xichang.

Gaofen satellites carry imaging sensors operating in a range of wavelengths from visible light to radar. They are government owned and have a mainly civilian application.

They operate in a range of orbits from Sun-synchronous LEO to GEO.
