2023-08-08
Recently, the Ceres-1 carrier rocket was successfully launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in Gansu Province, successfully sending 7 satellites into the predetermined orbit.
On the Xingchi-1B star, the hyperspectral camera developed by a Suzhou company was also launched into the sky to work together.
At 12:03 on August 10, Xingchi-1 B star carried the Ceres-1 carrier rocket and successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
The good news came, and the staff of Suzhou Argo Space Technology Co., Ltd. (abbreviation: Argo) were very excited. The light hyperspectral optical camera carried on the "Star Pool No. In the next space journey, it will help satellites achieve high-quality remote sensing monitoring.
Zhang Ke, assistant to the president of Argo, said: "With high ground resolution and high optical transmission, such a product is our ultra-lightweight design, compact and suitable for commercial spaceflight."
This "flying" with the satellite is the first orbital application of Argo's high-efficiency, high-geometry, and hyperspectral new space optical remote sensing technology, which can provide standardized remote sensing data support for intelligent inspection of facilities, ecological environment monitoring and other fields.
Argo will settle in Suzhou Industrial Park in 2021, and is focusing on building an entire industrial chain of optical payloads, high-time-effective remote sensing satellites and unique data services.
Zhang Ke said: "Considering the business environment in Suzhou and the convenience of financing, the main reason is that the policy is relatively good. Including our optical processing and mechanical processing, there will be some downstream enterprises and upstream enterprises. We have a lot of cooperation. .”
