[Space.com] One satellite, identified as Gaofen by SpaceNews, was billed in Chinese media as a remote sensing satellite for civilian use (...uh-huh...honest...civilian...we swear..!).  The satellite's resolution is less than a meter (three feet) and it will operate in an orbit to place the sun at a consistent angle on the surface, called a sun-synchronous orbit. This orbit makes it easier to compare pictures between satellite passes. |

| #1 Not nearly as impressive as performing a space walk while still on the launch pad. Less than a meter, what the hell does that mean? We talking foot, inch, thou? |
