📋 Tender Overview
On December 16 at 11:17, our country successfully launched the Resource 3-04 satellite for three-dimensional mapping using the Long March 4B rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. The satellite successfully entered its designated orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
The Resource 3-04 satellite is a business satellite in the medium- and long-term development plan for the national civil space infrastructure. It is equipped with a three-line array three-dimensional mapping camera, a multispectral camera, and a laser altimeter, which can obtain high-resolution three-dimensional images and multispectral images. The Resource 3-04 satellite will work in conjunction with the Resource 3-02 and 03 satellites already in orbit to form a networked observation capability for business satellites, mainly used to meet the needs of large-scale three-dimensional mapping production and the updating of basic geographic information products, providing high-precision data products for geographic information resource construction, natural resource investigation and monitoring, land spatial planning and usage control, and natural resource supervision and law enforcement.
The National Space Administration is responsible for the organization and management of the satellite project, coordination of major issues, and approval of launch permits. The National Space Administrations Earth Observation and Data Center undertakes the overall engineering work; the Ministry of Natural Resources is the leading user department, and the National Remote Sensing Application Center of the Ministry of Natural Resources is responsible for the construction of application systems and related applications; the launch site system and measurement and control system are responsible for launch and measurement and control operations; the China Resource Satellite Application Center and the Aerospace Information Innovation Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are responsible for the construction and operation of ground systems; the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology are respectively responsible for the overall development of the satellite system and the launch vehicle system.
This mission is the 617th launch of the Long March series of launch vehicles.
