Long March 3B/E | Tianlian 2-06
Tianlian is a Chinese data tracking and relay communications geostationary satellite series.

TL 2 will be used to support real-time communications between orbiting satellites and ground control stations. This system will replace the current network of ground-based space tracking and telemetry stations and space tracking ships.
