Fanhui Shi Weixing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fanhui Shi Weixing (Traditional Chinese: 返回式衛星; Simplified Chinese: 返回式卫星; pinyin: Fǎnhuí Shì Wèixīng; literally "recoverable satellite") is a series of Chinese reconnaissance satellites. The satellites were designed for both military and civilian observation needs.
Four models of the satellites were introduced: FSW-0, FSW-1, FSW-2, and the most modern being FSW-3.
All satellites were put in orbit using the Long March rockets, most of them by the CZ-2C type.
