Gaofen-9 was launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Centre in Gansu province at 12.42 p.m. (local time) aboard a Long March-2D carrier rocket. It was the 209th flight of the Long March rocket series, reported Xinhua news agency.
The optical remote sensing satellite is capable of providing photographs with a resolution of less than a metre. It will be used in land survey, urban planning, road network design, agriculture, and disaster relief.
Developed by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology, Gaofen-9 can also serve key national strategies such as the Belt and Road Initiative and national defence.
