Did you see it?
Exciting time!
"Ceres No. 1" Yaoqi solid launch vehicle
Launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center!
The elliptical space-time "Xingchi No. 1 B satellite" satellite successfully entered the predetermined orbit
The light optical camera carried by Xingchi No. 1 B star,
By
Suzhou Nano City Enterprise——Suzhou Argo Space Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Argo)
Jointly developed with Ellipse Space-Time (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd.
This type of camera adopts a modular design concept and has the characteristics of light weight, small size, low cost, short development cycle, and high imaging quality; the camera adopts TDI push-broom and side-swing imaging modes, and the ground pixel resolution is better than 4 meters With a width of more than 30 kilometers, it is the first orbital application of Xingzhou's "high time-efficiency, high geometry, hyperspectral" new space optical remote sensing technology. Widely and deeply used in natural resources, ecological environment, transportation, agriculture and forestry, border control, pipeline monitoring, finance and insurance, smart cities and other fields of national defense, economic and social development.
Argo
Argo was established in June 2021 and is located in the northwest area of Nano City, Suzhou.It is the first commercial remote sensing satellite company in China whose main business is to provide optical main payloads in batches.At present, based on the field of commercial aerospace and space technology, the company has formed a complete set of R&D, design, test, and production capabilities for aerospace optical remote sensing loads, and has developed a series of spectral new remote sensing load products, whereTwo innovative technologies of "high time-effective non-along-track primary transit curve imaging" and "new computational reconstruction based on filter array hyperspectral imaging"，It has filled the gap in the field of domestic commercial aerospace technology and opened up the blue ocean market of commercial remote sensing.
Argo has developed rapidly since its establishment, and has now established a strong talent team with an overall scale of over 100 people. The proportion of high-tech talents such as doctors and masters exceeds 50%. The disciplines cover optics, mechanics, electricity, heat, and softness. More than 10 core team members have more than 10 years of senior experience in model mission development. At present, the company has applied for 30 intellectual property rights, including 8 authorized inventions and 1 utility model. It has completed angel round financing of 55 million yuan, received support from governments at all levels exceeding 10 million yuan, and recently won the National Disruptive Technology Competition in 2022. The winning project of the finals ranks in the top three percent of the country.
In recent years, the park has focused on self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology, and insisted on implementing the innovation-driven development strategy. It has gathered strategic scientific and technological forces such as Suzhou Laboratory, "One District, Two Centers", and Gusu Laboratory. National scientific research institution, the total number of talents has maintained the first place in the national development zone for many years, and the ability of industrial innovation and achievement transformation is outstanding; it focuses on the cultivation of innovative enterprises, focuses on creating emerging industries such as artificial intelligence, integrated circuits, and industrial software, and actively deploys quantum technology, smart materials, etc. In the future industry, key enterprises such as Yuansoft Control and leading enterprises such as COMAC and Shanghai Airlines have cooperated in depth to create a complete and dynamic industrial ecology and entrepreneurial ecology, forming the "soil" and "sunshine" most needed for the growth of innovative enterprises. "Rain and dew".
As the "main front" for the park to develop emerging industries such as third-generation semiconductors and micro-nano manufacturing, Suzhou Nano City will closely focus on the goal of building an "open and innovative world-class high-tech park" and vigorously promote "dare to do, dare to break through, With the spirit of "dare to do and dare to be the first", promote the collaborative layout and deep integration of the innovation chain, industry chain, capital chain, and talent chain at a higher level, actively create a business environment with the best policy, the lowest cost, and the best service, and continue to create The first-class innovation ecology supports the accelerated growth of excellent enterprises including Xingzhou, more cutting-edge innovations emerge, and fully promotes the industrial innovation cluster of nanotechnology application in the park to become bigger and stronger.
