A Long Journey Begins: The Launch Ceremony for the Xi'an Aerospace Xiguang-1 01 Satellite and the Xi'an Aerospace Investment Remote Sensing Microsatellites No. 88, 96, 104, and 112 was Successfully Held.

The satellites launched this time were delivered via a single rocket carrying five satellites, which are currently operating in a 530km sun-synchronous orbit. Among them, the Xiguang-1 01 satellite possesses integrated detection and imaging capabilities, including continuous strip, multi-strip, multi-target, and video imaging modes, as well as high-speed data transmission capabilities. It carries payloads such as an infrared camera, a hyperspectral camera, a panchromatic camera, an onboard intelligent processing unit, and an optical switch. It can accurately and efficiently perform payload data compression, storage, real-time processing, and Earth transmission, achieving high spectral resolution, multi-source remote sensing data fusion, autonomous target acquisition, and closed-loop tracking. Its key applications include ecological environment, agriculture and forestry, land resources, marine economy, natural resources, smart cities, atmospheric environment, disaster prevention and mitigation, and forest fire monitoring, providing solid scientific and technological support for urban monitoring, ecological protection, and scientific management in Shaanxi and even nationwide.

The Xi'an Aerospace Investment Group's 88, 96, 104, and 112 remote sensing microsatellites consist of four low-weight, low-power optical remote sensing satellites equipped with lightweight optical cameras. With the Qinling Mountains as the core monitoring area, they are building a regional ecological sustainability monitoring system. The remote sensing image data they provide are mainly used in multiple fields such as Qinling ecological protection, geological resource development, agricultural production safety, environmental protection and ecological construction, infrastructure planning, and land and resources management.

The satellite will be launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at a later date. After the satellite test team arrives, they will quickly carry out a series of subsequent inspections, tests, and satellite-rocket docking to ensure the successful completion of this launch mission.
