Recently, the Suzhou Municipal Committee Publicity Department's official video account, "Suzhou News," featured a special report titled "Star Creation" in a series focusing on commercial spaceflight. Dr. Zhang Liu, founder and CEO of our company and a leader in my country's commercial remote sensing satellite field, systematically expounded on the two world-leading technological breakthroughs and industrialization progress of Jitian Xingzhou for the first time. The full interview is now available on the "Suzhou Release" video account. Click below to watch the interview:
A Technology-Based Company: Unveiling World-Leading "Two Unique Technologies"
During the interview, Dr. Zhang Liu unveiled for the first time the company's core achievements in building technological barriers:
Off-Track Single-Pass Curve Imaging Technology: This technology breaks through the limitations of traditional satellite orbit-constrained straight-line imaging, enabling agile imaging of arbitrary curved paths. It is the world's first technology of this type with industrialization capabilities.
High-Geometry Hyperspectral Intelligent Spectral Interpretation Technology: This technology breaks through the technical bottleneck of spatial-spectral resolution in traditional remote sensing imaging, providing high-geometry hyperspectral remote sensing data support and significantly improving object identification accuracy (expected to be released in July-August 2025).
Suzhou Opportunities: Nanocity Creates an Aerospace Innovation Ecosystem
As a representative of commercial aerospace technology companies rooted in Suzhou, Dr. Zhang Liu highlighted the key support for the company's development from Suzhou's well-developed intelligent manufacturing industry chain and superior innovation environment, which are the acceleration of commercial aerospace development enabled by Suzhou's speed.
Jitian Xingzhou: A Leader in Optical Remote Sensing Payloads for Commercial Spaceflight
Founded in 2021, Jitian Xingzhou is focused on providing cost-effective optical remote sensing payload solutions for the global commercial aerospace market. With more than 70 independent intellectual property rights as its core barrier, the company has built a full-chain technology system covering R&D, design, production, and testing. Relying on the independently developed "high-efficiency, high-geometry, and high-spectral space optical remote sensing satellite payload technology", it has created a full-scene product spectrum of high, medium, and low resolution and wide-format optical cameras, which are widely used in land surveys, environmental monitoring, national defense and security and other fields, and promote the application of remote sensing data to reduce costs and increase efficiency through technology accessibility.
In the three years since its founding, Jitian Xingzhou has achieved a "Grand Slam of Qualifications": garnering prestigious certifications such as Jiangsu Province's Specialized, Innovative, Specialized and Innovative Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, Suzhou's Major Innovation Team, Jiangsu Province's Mass Entrepreneurship and Innovation Program, and Jiangsu Province's Key R&D Project. It has also been recognized as a Gusu District Science and Technology Leading Talent Enterprise for three consecutive years (2021-2023). Its disruptive technological achievements won the grand prize in the 2022 National Disruptive Technology Innovation Competition, becoming a benchmark for technological breakthroughs in the commercial aerospace sector. In 2024, Jitian Xingzhou will usher in a new phase of industrialization with the milestone of "double satellite launches."
As a Suzhou unicorn-incubating enterprise, Jitian Xingzhou is driven by a triad of "technology + capital + ecosystem": leveraging its GJB9001C military-industrial qualification to connect deeply with national strategic needs, leveraging two rounds of strategic financing to accelerate technological iteration and capacity upgrades, while simultaneously advancing the mass launch of satellite payloads into orbit. From technological breakthroughs to ecosystem development, Jitian Xingzhou is reshaping the competitive landscape of the global space information industry as a leader in China's commercial aerospace industry.
