【#Tech24H】At 7:37 on November 7, the North University of China No.1 intelligent remote sensing satellite lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, marking the successful launch of Shanxi’s first satellite independently developed by a local university. Built on an innovative software-defined architecture, the spacecraft operates in a 535 km sun-synchronous orbit and supports in-orbit intelligent reconfiguration. It carries a dual optical imaging system for combined static imaging and dynamic video observation, paired with an in-house space-based supercomputing platform for on-orbit intelligent processing and real-time data filtering, greatly boosting Earth observation performance. Serving as the technical verification satellite for the Taihang Constellation, the mission initiates the constellation deployment and lays a solid foundation for future networking. Tailored to Shanxi’s development priorities, it will support high-quality socioeconomic growth across energy, ecology, agriculture, rural development and emergency response sectors.
