Gaofen 13 (GF 13) is a series of geostationary Earth observation satellites in the Gaofen series of Chinese civilian remote sensing satellites. No details are known so far, but it is suspected to be an improved version of the Gaofen 4 satellite with a significantly larger optical system. A 15 m resolution geostationary earth observation satellite was reportedly been under development by CAST; this may be the same model.
