Mission:
Launch of the third oceanographic satellite of the Haiyang-2 system. Observation of the dynamics of the ocean environment (wind, temperature, water vapor, wave height). Continuous high-precision monitoring of the ocean environment.
Motto:
“Continuous observation of ocean changes”.
There is no official motto.

The launched satellite is part of the civilian ocean observation system for capturing the dynamic characteristics of the surface and atmosphere, which is necessary for accurate forecasting and warning of natural disasters. After the deployment of the complete constellation (satellites of the Haiyang-2, Haiyang-1 and Haiyang-3 series), a continuous view of the ocean surface with a 6-hour period will be available.
Normal Chinese launch, according to plan. China is implementing the most independent space research program, creating its own satellite constellations for various applications. Made on their own platforms, taken out of their own rockets from their spaceports. The USSR did this in the past.
