SPACETY’s 20th Space Mission Achieves Complete Success<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 12:12 Beijing time on May 17, 2025, six commercial satellites developed by SPACETY were successfully launched aboard a Zhuque-2A (ZQ-2A) modified carrier rocket from the Dongfeng Commercial Aerospace Innovation Test Zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The six satellites cover multiple application fields, including one commercial SAR<\/strong> remote sensing satellite TY42 (Shenqi-2), two optical<\/strong> remote sensing satellites TY29 (DIZHI-1) and TY35 (NCHU-1), and three space science<\/strong> experimental satellites TY34 (SUSTech-1), TY45 (BUPT-2), and TY46 (BUPT-3). After precise orbital insertion, all telemetry parameters were normal, with solar panels and antennas deploying smoothly, marking the complete success of the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, TY29 (DIZHI-1) has overcome multiple critical technical challenges, including high-reliability integrated optomechanical system design, high-reliability infrared focal plane filter spectral splitting technology, and Time-Delay Integration (TDI) multi-spectral visible light detection technology for the camera. These breakthroughs provide robust technical foundations for the efficient application of satellite data in geological and environmental remote sensing. TY29 (DIZHI-1) is capable of delivering high-precision remote sensing data and professional analytical services for geological and environmental exploration, monitoring, identification, interpretation, and analysis. Its applications span mineral composition detection, rock type identification, alteration information extraction, soil quality assessment, and water pollution monitoring. Through these high-quality datasets and services, TY29 (DIZHI-1) will empower scientists to more accurately decipher Earth’s geological structures, offering strong scientific evidence and technical support for resource exploitation, environmental protection, and disaster prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TY35(NCHU-1), developed under the leadership of Nanchang Hangkong University, is an intelligent multispectral ecological environment monitoring satellite. Its platform demonstrates significant advantages in autonomous operation and intelligent control. The onboard multispectral camera employs an advanced off-axis three-mirror optical system, with optical parameters such as focal length, field of view, F-number, aperture, spectral range, and band selection meticulously optimized to enhance imaging performance and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipped with a high-quantum-efficiency, low-noise CMOS detector, TY35 supports real-time monitoring and rapid response, particularly excelling in water pollution detection, water quality analysis, and algal bloom monitoring. Additionally, it is applicable to terrestrial environmental remote sensing, including soil and vegetation monitoring, providing comprehensive data support for regional sustainable development goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPACETY will collaborate with Shenqi-02 from the Zhangye SAR Constellation and the two optical satellites above to validate optical-SAR synergistic technologies in orbit. This will enable high-efficiency fusion and precise utilization of dual-mode remote sensing data, improving the completeness, accuracy, and timeliness of Earth observation data in complex environments. These advancements will strengthen support for disaster emergency monitoring, environmental surveillance, and dynamic resource assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
