Ready to be shipped! The first new remote sensing satellite developed and manufactured by Jitian Xingzhou
A good year must be remembered, especially when it's orange, yellow, and green. In the warm autumn sun, with the joy of a bountiful harvest, the development summary and factory review meeting of Jitian Xingzhou's first new remote sensing satellite was successfully held!
The first new remote sensing satellite of Jitian Xingzhou, Jitian Star A-01 (Jilin University No.1 satellite), is a new generation of optical remote sensing satellite independently developed by Suzhou Jitian Xingzhou Space Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Jitian Xingzhou) based on the company's core technology to meet the new demand for high timeliness, map based remote sensing in the commercial aerospace market. As the first star of the Jitian constellation, this satellite will become China's first optical remote sensing satellite with the capabilities of "non orbital imaging of arbitrary curves" and "computational reconstruction of high geometry hyperspectral imaging". It has significant characteristics of "high timeliness, high geometry, and hyperspectral", and will deeply serve industries such as watershed management, pipeline monitoring, border control, ecological environment, agriculture, forestry, etc. It can be widely applied in various fields of national defense, economy, and social development such as natural resources, transportation, finance and insurance, smart cities, effectively improving the quantitative application level of satellite remote sensing.
On November 23, 2023, Jitian Xingzhou organized a summary and factory review meeting for the development of Jitian Star A-01 (Jilin University No.1 satellite) 3m visible light/hyperspectral camera, star sensor, and selfie camera in Changchun, Jilin. The review experts unanimously agreed that Jitian Xingzhou had completed the development of Jitian Star A-01 (Jilin University No.1 satellite) payload, with functions and performance meeting technical specifications and meeting factory conditions.
On November 26th, Jitian Xingzhou organized a summary and factory review meeting for the development of Jitian Star A-01 (Jilin University One Satellite) in Taizhou, Zhejiang. The review experts unanimously agreed that Jitian Star A-01 (Jilin University One Satellite) has completed various product assembly, testing, and experimentation work. After factory testing, all functions and performance indicators meet the overall development requirements and meet the factory conditions, and it is agreed to pass the factory review.

As the first commercial aerospace company in China that mainly provides optical payloads in bulk, Jitian Xingzhou has a complete system for the research and development, design, production, and testing of space optical remote sensing payloads. Based on its independent intellectual property rights of "high timeliness, high geometry, and high spectrum" imaging technology, Jitian Xingzhou has built an optical payload technology and product system that meets the application needs of various fields. At the same time, it carries out constellation operation and data application services, and is committed to becoming a leading global provider of optical remote sensing payload products and services.
Based on the independent core imaging technology of "high timeliness, high geometry, and high spectrum", Jitian Xingzhou plans to construct a remote sensing satellite constellation consisting of 28 satellites, which will have various imaging methods such as visible light, hyperspectral, infrared, microwave, etc., forming a unique remote sensing data acquisition capability with fast regional access, rapid coverage, and updating, as well as typical industry deep application capabilities. It is planned to be completed by 2026. By 2030, a satellite constellation consisting of hundreds of satellites will be planned and constructed to further promote satellite empowerment of various industries and benefit thousands of households.
