During the Grain Rain season, the Apricot Blossom Avenue at Jilin University's Nanling Campus celebrated its ninth annual bloom. Over 200 apricot trees stretched their branches along the 770-meter corridor, their pink and white petals falling like spring snow and rain, creating a poetic floral path in front of the Automotive Engineering Building, whose name was inscribed by Guo Moruo. On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the establishment of Jilin University's Engineering Discipline, Suzhou Jitian Xingzhou Space Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jitian Xingzhou), an alumni company of Jilin University, sincerely invites all to visit the campus on April 20, 2025, to explore the inheritance and innovation of the engineering spirit amidst the fragrance of flowers and the light of shadow.
Apricot Blossoms as Letters: Composer of the Seventieth Anniversary of Engineering Glory

Since the establishment of the Apricot Blossom Festival at Jilin University's Nanling Campus in 2016, this "pink corridor" connecting the Automotive Engineering Building and the Engineering Training Center has become a testament to the epoch-making integration of industry, academia, and research within Jilin University's engineering programs. The laboratory on the left once provided theoretical support for early technological breakthroughs for FAW Hongqi sedans, while the new building on the right is dedicated to the precision development of aerospace payloads. Here, yellowed automotive gears on blueprints and satellite optical payloads engage in a dialogue across time and space. For seventy years, Jilin University's engineering faculty have upheld the spirit of perseverance and truth-seeking. From the scientific feat of geologists hammering 10,000-meter rock cores to the mapping of mountains and rivers by remote sensing satellites, each breakthrough has been a resounding response to national needs.
Founded in 2021, Jitian Xingzhou is dedicated to providing cost-effective optical remote sensing payload solutions for the global commercial aerospace market. Leveraging over 70 proprietary intellectual property rights, the company has established a comprehensive technology system encompassing R&D, design, production, and testing. Leveraging its proprietary "high-efficiency, high-geometry, and high-spectrum space optical remote sensing satellite payload technology," the company offers a comprehensive product portfolio of high-, medium-, and low-resolution, as well as wide-format optical cameras for a wide range of applications, including land surveys, environmental monitoring, and national defense security. This technology is widely used in fields such as land surveys, environmental monitoring, and national defense security. The company is promoting cost reduction and efficiency improvement in remote sensing data applications through technology accessibility.
Lightweight Exhibition: A Technological Leap from the Laboratory to the Sky
Jitian Xingzhou, committed to its original scientific research mission of "writing papers on the land of the motherland," will exhibit its proprietary "high-efficiency, high-geometry, and high-spectrum" imaging technologies, along with a series of optical payloads designed to meet the needs of various applications, at the Nanling Campus of Jilin University on April 20th. This showcase showcases the technological power of deep integration between industry, academia, and research.
Exhibition Highlights: 3m Resolution Visible Light Hyperspectral Camera
This camera was carried on the successfully launched Jitianxing A-01 (Jilin University-1) and Jitianxing A-03 (Suzhou-1) satellites. It transcends the limitations of traditional along-track imaging and is capable of imaging along the trajectory of arbitrarily curved targets (such as arcs and S-shaped objects), increasing the overall efficiency of satellite remote sensing by more than tenfold. To date, the Jitian twin satellites have captured nearly 100,000 images, which have been deeply used in fields such as land surveys, environmental monitoring, and national defense security.
From the first snow-covered farmlands of Northeast China to the lush greenery along the Yangtze River, or the winding Ussuri River along the China-Russia border, every frame vividly illustrates the transition from laboratory theory to practical application.
Exhibition Highlights: Space Target Detection Camera
At the forefront of optical payload technology, the ability to perceive low-light environments in deep space is undoubtedly a challenging "additional challenge." Overcoming this challenge is not only a major technological breakthrough, but also greatly expands the application boundaries of optical payload technology. Deep space exploration faces numerous challenges in the vast universe. Faint signals are hidden in the vast cosmic background, making capturing these signals daunting. Leveraging years of technological expertise and proprietary optical system design, Jitian Xingzhou has successfully developed a cost-effective deep-space optical technology solution.
Jitian Xingzhou's space target detection camera successfully overcomes the challenge of low-light perception, acting like an "eye in the dark." In the depths of space, it can capture extremely faint signals, providing clear visual support for spacecraft during deep space exploration. As a leader in commercial space optical payloads, Jitian Xingzhou consistently prioritizes customer needs for technological innovation. From near-Earth remote sensing to deep space exploration, every gaze of these optical payload lenses embodies the power of scientific research, demonstrating the unremitting pursuit of engineering professionals to "measure the galaxy with precise algorithms and allow scientific research ideals to take root in the heavens."
