This page contains philatelic information on the Shi Jian (SJ) series satellites. Catalog numbers, years of issue, and notes on the satellites featured are given when available. If readers know of additional information or images, please contact the authors using the e-mail addresses at the bottom of this page.
SJ-1, DFH-1 and KMS-1 have similar designs. This intercomparison image will help in differentiating among them (and also includes Telstar, which appears to be the ultimate source of their designs). Furthermore, this brief discussion presents some of their characteristics and differences.
