The launch of three Gaofen-1 high-definition imaging satellites on Saturday marks the beginning of China's efforts to build a national civil space infrastructure system scheduled to be completed in 2025.
The satellites were lifted off by a Long March-4C rocket at 11:22 from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in northern Shanxi Province.
As high-definition imaging satellites have two-meter accuracy, they will be used for disaster warning, ecological protection, infrastructure construction, transportation and emergency response.
The satellites will undergo in-orbit tests for six months and work together with other satellites to carry out high-definition earth observation.
"We will make efforts to form a network between these satellites, the previously-launched Gaofen-1 satellite and the satellites to be launched, with an aim to boost our capacity in resource coverage and survey," said Gao Ping, head of the sic-tech department of the Ministry of Natural Resources, and also general director in charge of satellite engineering and application system.
