[China’s Second-Generation Geostationary Meteorological Satellite Fengyun-4 03 Successfully Launched]
At 00:07 on December 27, 2025, China successfully launched the Fengyun-4 03 satellite using a Long March-3B carrier rocket from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. The satellite successfully entered its predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
The Fengyun-4 03 satellite is an operational satellite under the National Civil Space Infrastructure Medium- and Long-Term Development Plan. It is China’s second-generation geostationary meteorological satellite, equipped with four Earth observation payloads (radiation imager, infrared detector, lightning imager, and ionospheric ultraviolet spectroscopic imager) and two solar observation payloads (solar extreme ultraviolet imager and solar X-ray extreme ultraviolet imager). This satellite plays a crucial role in weather forecasting, disaster prevention and mitigation, climate change response, and ecological civilization construction, providing high-precision data support for the modernization of China’s meteorological operations.
The China National Space Administration (CNSA) was responsible for the project’s organization and management, coordination of major matters, and launch permit approval. The CNSA’s Earth Observation and Data Center undertook the overall project management. The China Meteorological Administration is the user department, responsible for the construction and operation of the ground application system. The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) is responsible for the overall development of the launch vehicle system, while the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST) is responsible for the overall development of the satellite system.
This mission marks the 621st launch of the Long March series of launch vehicles.
