Wiki

The Chinese Yaogan 29 (Remote Sensing Satellite-29) government remote sensing satellite, likely also used as a military reconnaissance satellite, is likely the first of a successor series to the Yaogan-1 (JB-5) class space-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system. The satellite uses the same orbit as the Yaogan-1 class, but has, according to published illustrations, a different design.
