Chiny liderem 08.05. o 18:32 z Taiyuan wystrzelona została RN CZ-4C, która wyniosła na orbitę heliosynchroniczną satelitę
teledetekcyjnego Gaofen-5. Był to czternasty w tym roku start kosmiczny przeprowadzony przez ChRL, dzięki
czemu kraj ten wysunął się na pozycję lidera w tym rankingu.

Gaofen-5 ma służyć do cywilnych obserwacji Ziemi. Z dostępnych informacji wynika, że Gaofen-5 bazuje na chińskiej platformie satelitarnej SAST-5000B. Satelita ma służyć do obserwacji Ziemi za zakresie wizualnym i podczerwonym. Jest to część większego cywilnego programu obserwacyjnego Chin. Docelowo ten cywilny program ma integrować dane z satelitów, samolotów oraz platform stratosferycznych.
Następny start rakiety orbitalnej planowany jest na 10 maja 2018. Tego dnia nowa wersja rakiety Falcon 9R (“Block 5”) wyniesie pierwszego satelitę telekomunikacyjnego Bangladeszu.

(Xinhua/Jin Liwang)TAIYUAN, May 9 (Xinhua) -- China on Wednesday launched Gaofen-5, a hyperspectral imaging satellite, as part of the country's high-resolution Earth observation project.
The Gaofen-5 satellite was launched off the back of a Long March 4C rocket at 2:28 a.m. Beijing Time from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in northern Shanxi Province. It was the 274th flight mission by a Long March carrier rocket.
The satellite can be used for comprehensive environmental monitoring.
The satellite is developed and produced by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and has a designed life of eight years.
According to Tong Xudong, chief designer of the Gaofen series, Gaofen-5 is the first China-developed satellite that can monitor air pollution. It can dynamically reflect the state of air pollution in China through the monitoring of air pollutants, greenhouse gases, and aerosols.
Gaofen-5 is able to obtain spectral information from ultraviolet to long-wave infrared radiation. It is the world's first full-spectrum hyperspectral satellite for comprehensive observation of the atmosphere and land.
Gaofen-5 has the highest spectral resolution among China's remote sensing satellites. It is equipped with six advanced observation payloads, such as shortwave infrared hyperspectral camera and a greenhouse gas detector.
It can investigate material composition through spectral imaging technology.
Wang Qiao, an official from the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, said the satellite can detect inland water, land surface environment and altered minerals, providing reliable data for China's environmental monitoring, resource exploration, and disaster prevention and mitigation.
It will help reduce China's dependence on foreign hyperspectral satellite data.
Since the Gaofen project began in 2010, China's view of the planet has become clearer.
China will also launch Gaofen-6 this year to form a constellation with other Gaofen satellites in orbit.
