Mission:
Launch of the civilian satellite for remote sensing of the Earth Gaofen-11-02 under the state program China High-resolution Earth Observation System (CHEOS). Optical resolution less than a meter. The second in the Gaofen-11 series, the satellite is designed for detailed observation of the earth's surface, urban planning, road network design, land use control, crop yield assessment, prevention of natural disasters and minimization of their consequences. And also for information support of national strategic projects, such as "One Belt and One Road", and in the interests of defense.

The officially announced goals and objectives of the "civilian" grouping "Gaofeng" should not be misleading - the satellites are created on the basis of military vehicles (therefore, there are no photographs and characteristics), information is received and processed also through the military infrastructure. The military uses the information received, possibly on a priority basis. However, about the space activities of all countries of the world, one can (in most cases) say "and under the UN flag a military shoulder strap is hidden."
