Associated space launch

Gaofen is a series of civilian Earth observation satellites developed and launched for the China High-definition Earth Observation System (CHEOS), a state-sponsored programme aimed to develop a near-real time, all-weather, global surveillance network consisting of satellite, near-space (stratosphere) airships, and aerial observation platforms. Luojia-1 is a 6U Earth observation cubesat prototype.

LUOJIA-1 01 was lifted into orbit during the mission ‘Long March 2D | Gaofen 6 & Luojia-1’, on board a Long March 2D space rocket.

The launch took place on June 2, 2018, 4:13 a.m. from Launch Area 94 (SLS-2 / 603).
