GaoJing is the proposed Chinese high resolution (GSD <= 0.5m) commercial remote sensing satellite constellation to be built by CASC. It will consist of more than 24 satellites and the first one will be launched by the end of 2016.

The Gaojing remote sensing satellite constellation has been translated as "SuperView" in English.

Really from Taiyuan? CZ-2D has never been launched from there. Or does that possibly hint to a CZ-4 version as launch vehicle?

Probably CZ-2C.  ;)

Really nice. You should establish a L2 block of Chinese launch for your exclusive news ;D ;D ;D

I assume is a CZ-2C, but Chinaspaceflifht.com is saying is a CZ-2D.

Yes, based on launch site and the nature of the payload, a CZ-2C seems to be most likely.

I have reverted my list back to CZ-2D and Jiuquan as a launch site.

The IARU site shows the BY70-1 cubesat to be launched on 26 December 2016 from Jiuquan - with the date indicating a launch with GaoJing 1. With Jiuquan as a launch site, there is no more reason to assume a CZ-2C instead to the earlier announced CZ-2D.

Interesting information and I agree with you! The original announcement for the GJ satellites was a CZ-2D from Jiuquan. I'll also change that on the thread title and on the Chinese Launch Schedule.

Well, it looks it now obvious that in fact this launch will be from Taiyuan as the two satellites were today delivered there.

I doubt it's CZ-2D though - there's no orbit that can fly from Taiyuan that can't be flown from Jiuquan, while the opposite is not true.

If it really is (no obvious hints from SAST that they are bringing the 2D to Taiyuan), there must be some compelling reason that we don't know to do so.  :-X

Okay, back to Taiyuan and (likely) CZ-2C...

It's a Chinese conspiracy to confuse us all to death. ;)
