Yaogan 30-01-01 [CCTV]

The Yaogan 30-01-01 to 30-01-03 (Remote Sensing Satellite-30-01-01 to 30-01-03) satellites, were launched by CZ-2C (3) rocket from China's Xichang space center on 29 September 2017. The purpose is not confirmed, although the news reports hint towards a SIGINT mission, especially to detect ships by their radio emissions. They are also known as CX 5 by the manufacturer.

The satellites are spaced by 120� in their orbit. Reportedly, these satellites are working in cooperation with the Yaogan 30 satellite.

A second triplet, Yaogan 30-02-01 to 30-02-03, followed on 24 November 2017 into an orbital plane 119� west of the first one.

A third triplet, Yaogan 30-03-01 to 30-03-03, in an orbital plane 120� east iof the first followed on 25 December 2017.

A fourth triplet, Yaogan 30-04-01 to 30-04-03, was orbited on 25 January 2018.

The fifth triplet called Yaogan 30-05-01 to 30-05-03 was launched in July 2019.

A sixth triplet called Yaogan 30-06-01 to 30-06-03 was launched in March 2020.

A seventh triplet called Yaogan 30-07-01 to 30-07-03 was launched in June 2020.

A eithth triplet called Yaogan 30-08-01 to 30-08-03 is planned for May 2021.
