China News Agency, Beijing, August 10th (Ma Shuisha) At 12:50 on August 10th, Beijing time, China successfully launched the Jilin-1 Gaofen 03D09 satellite, using the Long March 6 Yao-1 carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. Yunyao-1 has 16 satellites of magnitude 04-08, which are mainly used in commercial remote sensing, atmospheric imaging and other fields.
The Long March 6 carrier rocket was developed by the General Manager of the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. It is a new generation of non-toxic and non-polluting liquid carrier rockets in China. It can perform various orbital launch missions and has a sun-synchronous orbit carrying capacity of 1 ton.
At 12:50 on August 10, China successfully launched 16 satellites including Jilin-1 Gaofen 03D09 star and Yunyao-1 04-08 star at Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center using the Long March 6 Yao-1 carrier rocket. , the satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
The satellites are mainly used in commercial remote sensing, atmospheric imaging and other fields.

The Long March 6 Yaoyi rocket set a multi-satellite launch record of "one rocket with 20 satellites" in 2015.
The launch of "16 satellites with one arrow" has fewer satellites than the first flight, but the number of satellite-arrow interfaces has increased from 10 to 16. The Long March-6 carrier rocket has made new breakthroughs in the field of multi-satellite launches.
This mission is the 21st launch of the "Jilin-1" satellite project. The 16 satellites launched are all developed by Changguang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd., and the 10 Jilin-1 Gaofen-03D satellites are mainly used to obtain high-resolution optics. Remote sensing images, providing remote sensing data services; 6 Yunyao satellites are mainly used to image the atmosphere, and have application prospects and value in the field of meteorological observation.

This launch mission set a record for the largest number of "Jilin-1" satellites launched in a single time.
After the 16 satellites are in orbit, they will be networked with the 54 "Jilin-1" satellites in orbit.
So far, the number of "Jilin-1" satellites in orbit has increased to 70, marking the successful completion of the first phase of the construction of the "Jilin-1" constellation.
After the satellite is put into use, it will significantly improve the data acquisition and information service capabilities of the "Jilin-1" constellation.
This launch is the ninth launch of the Long March 6 carrier rocket and the 432nd launch of the Long March series of carrier rockets.
