China launched two high-resolution optical remote sensing satellites from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, located in northwest China. The satellites that were launched were commercial satellites named 'Jilin-1 Video 07 and 08', independently developed by Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co. Ltd. Jilin-1 Video 07 and 08 were launched onboard Long March-11 rocket along with four other small commercial satellites, including one satellite of Canada. Jilin-1 Video 07 and 08 will provide remote sensing data. Its services will not only be used by government but also by industry users along with eight previously launched Jilin-1 satellites.
