On November 11, the day before the official opening of the airshow, Xiguang Aerospace successfully launched the "Xiguang-1" series of satellites from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.Xi Guang 1-04 Star (Xi Guang 1)AsChina's first high-resolution point-source methane monitoring commercial satelliteEquipped with a methane camera, a chlorophyll camera, and a multispectral camera, it combines methane gas monitoring and chlorophyll fluorescence monitoring functions, and is a...It has dual functions as a carbon source and carbon sink.This is a carbon monitoring remote sensing satellite. The satellite possesses multiple functions, including methane leak location monitoring, leak volume assessment, drift trend analysis, carbon source identification, and regional carbon neutrality capacity assessment. It will be widely used in fields such as ecological environment monitoring, industrial emission detection, gas leak detection, gas exploration, carbon sink assessment, and carbon trading. This marks a pioneering step forward for my country in the field of carbon monitoring remote sensing satellites.

The "Xiguang-1" series satellites were successfully launched from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
At the Commercial Space Development Forum, Qin Jing, Chairman and General Manager of CAS Xi'an Aerospace, delivered a keynote speech. She emphasized that hyperspectral remote sensing technology, as a new generation of Earth observation technology, has the unique advantage of "integrating image and spectrum," enabling the acquisition of richer spectral information, greatly improving the ability to distinguish and identify ground features, and realizing the transformation from qualitative analysis to quantitative analysis. She pointed out that NASA and ESA have regarded hyperspectral imaging as the core of their next-generation satellite programs, and in my country's demand collection for new-generation space infrastructure, high-resolution hyperspectral applications account for as much as 64%, highlighting the importance and enormous potential of hyperspectral remote sensing technology.
