YAOGAN 19 is a remote-sensing satellite that will conduct scientific experiments, carry out land surveys, monitor crop yields and aid in preventing and reducing natural disasters. But Western analysts who observe China's space program believe Yaogan 19 is the next satellite in a series of high-resolution imaging spacecraft. Based on the mission's launch site, rocket configuration and target orbit, Yaogan 19 likely follows up on a pair of satellites launched in 2009 and 2012.
