light optical camera
By
Suzhou Industrial Park Science and Technology Leading Talent Enterprise
Suzhou Argo Space Technology Co., Ltd.
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, the ground pixel resolution is better than 4 meters, and the width is more than 30 kilometers. It is the first application of Argo's new space optical remote sensing technology of "high time efficiency, high geometry, and hyperspectral" , will help the "Star Pool Project" satellite constellation to achieve ten-minute responsive remote sensing observations, which can be widely and deeply applied to natural resources, ecological environment, transportation, agriculture and forestry, border control, pipeline monitoring, financial insurance, smart cities, etc. National defense, economic and social development in all fields.
Argo
Argo will settle in the park in June 2021. It will be positioned in the field of commercial aerospace and space technology. It will closely focus on the new needs of military and civilian fields for efficient observation of the earth and remote sensing with equal emphasis on maps and maps. It will use core technological innovations to create a new data collection load and the entire industry chain of data services. At present, it has been rated as Gusu Science and Technology Leading Talent Enterprise, Park Science and Technology Leading Talent Enterprise, etc.

As the first commercial aerospace company in China to provide mass-provided optical main payloads as its main business, Argo uses high time-efficiency, high geometry, hyperspectral space optical remote sensing technology, new remote sensing data processing, information extraction and fusion, and ground object classification and recognition and other digital application technologies as the core innovation competitiveness, creating a whole industrial chain of new optical payloads, high-efficiency remote sensing satellites and unique data services. Through independent research and development and industrialization, it breaks through the international technology blockade, fills the gap in the domestic field, and drives the rapid and vigorous development of my country's commercial aerospace. The company's constellation's first double star has entered the stage of joint testing and complete machine assembly; at the same time, it is carrying out coordination work such as the rocket and frequency declaration of the first star, and plans to complete the first launch in September 2023.

The company attaches great importance to R & D investment and technological innovation, and has applied for and transferred 30 intellectual property rights, including 8 authorized invention patents, 1 utility model, 5 approved software copyrights, and 16 invention patents under acceptance. The company currently has nearly 100 members, and nearly 20 practitioners with more than 10 years of relevant experience, of which more than 80% are R&D personnel, and more than 60% are masters and doctoral core technical personnel.

In the next step, the park will further implement the innovation-driven development strategy, strengthen the dominant position of enterprise innovation, continue to create a first-class innovation ecology, increase industrial support, and focus on cultivating strategic scientific and technological forces, improving original innovation capabilities, overcoming key core technologies, and accelerating technological development. Achievement transformation and other aspects continue to increase, to promote better and faster growth of enterprises, to accelerate the realization of high-level technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and to strive towards the goal of an open and innovative world-class high-tech park.
