The Huan Jing yihao C weixing (HJ-1C) is the first radar satellite in China's environment and disaster monitor constellation, operating with the HJ-1A and 1B optical satellites. Together with the 890 kg HJ-1C satellite, the CZ-2C rocket deployed two small payloads: 'xin jishu yanzheng weixing' (New technology demonstration satellite), Xinyan-1 for short, and 'fengniao shiyan zaihe' (Hummingbird experimental payload), Fengniao-1 or FN-1 for short. FN-1 consists of the 130 kg FN-1A and the 30 kg FN-1B, which will later separate for formation flying experiments.
