The conference was attended by leaders and guests including Lü Laisheng, Standing Committee Member of the Xi'an Municipal Party Committee and Executive Vice Mayor; Yang Mengfei, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chief Designer of Chang'e-5; Shi Ping, Deputy Director of the Xi'an Municipal Military-Civilian Integration Office; and Qi Haibing, Deputy Secretary of the Party Working Committee and Director of the Management Committee of Xi'an High-tech Zone. The conference also invited authoritative experts, scholars, and business representatives to jointly discuss industry development trends, promote the sharing and complementary advantages of industry resources, and form a new engine to boost high-quality development.

Qin Jing, General Manager of Xi'an Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics CAS Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co.,LTD Technology Co., Ltd., was invited to attend the conference and delivered a technical exchange report entitled "Striving to Build a Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Ecological Constellation to Support my country's Space Power Construction" in the "Remote Sensing Satellite Technology" session. The report systematically reviewed the development of hyperspectral remote sensing technology in my country and highlighted Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics CAS Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co.,LTD's core technologies, flagship products, typical applications, and supporting infrastructure in the field. It also focused on the construction of a hyperspectral remote sensing constellation, showcasing a series of innovative applications of hyperspectral remote sensing satellites in various industries.

As a key component of my country's strategic emerging technology industries, the satellite industry has a wide range of applications, involves numerous upstream and downstream sectors, and has a relatively complex industrial chain. Its development and expansion are of significant practical importance to the overall economic development of my country. Accelerating the development of the satellite industry is conducive to promoting the development of my country's national space information industry, benefiting national socio-economic development, and is also of great significance to ensuring that my country's aerospace industry maintains its leading position in global development and enhancing the country's comprehensive national strength.

Xi'an, as the main hub for satellite applications in Shaanxi Province, leads the nation in the three major satellite application fields of communication, navigation, and remote sensing, making it one of the most powerful and dynamic regions for the development of the satellite application industry in China. In recent years, driven by industrial policies and market demand, Xi'an's satellite application industry has maintained rapid growth, forming a complete industrial chain encompassing satellite payloads, aerospace propulsion, satellite telemetry and control, and satellite applications. It has attracted a number of powerful and influential aerospace research institutes and outstanding enterprises, playing an indispensable role in a series of national launch missions.

The holding of this satellite application conference not only fully showcased the achievements of Xi'an's satellite application industry to the nation, but also established an online platform for display, trade, and matchmaking. This effectively promoted multi-party cooperation among government, military, financial, and private enterprises in the field of satellite applications, further accelerating the industrialization of innovation-driven development achievements in space infrastructure. Zhongke Xi'an Optoelectronics & Aerospace will also leverage this conference to fully grasp the new trends in national satellite application development, focusing on technological development and application practice, and contributing to the rapid development of the satellite application industry in Xi'an and even nationwide.
