Gaofen 13 (GF 13)
Gaofen 13 []
Gaofen 13 (GF 13) is a geostationary earth observation satellite in the Gaofen series of Chinese civilian remote sensing satellites.
No details are known so far, but it is suspected to be an improved version of the Gaofen 4 satellite with a significantly larger optical system. Likely it is the 15 m resolution geostationary earth observation satellite, which has reportedly been under development by CAST.
The satellite is positioned at the 117.9° East position.
