The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology will cooperate with Changguang Satellite Company to launch a multi-optical optical satellite named "Hong Kong University of Science and Technology-Xiong Bin No. 1" at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center of Gansu on Friday (August 25).
According to the Sing Tao Daily, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology announced the launch date on Monday (August 21), and said that this project is the first college of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology as the first high school to launch satellites in Hong Kong and move towards the establishment of remote sensing.An important step of satellite constellation, comprehensive environmental monitoring and disaster forecast system.
According to reports, the main scientific research tasks of "Hong Kong University of Science and Technology-Xiongbin One" are to monitor remote sensing data related to global environmental changes, disasters and sustainable development.The satellite has a high -solution image of 0.5 meters and a wide range of imaging of more than 150 kilometers, and its specifications are the highest among civil satellites.
Shen Xiangyang, chairman of the Board of Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, said that the school is committed to sustainable development and actively participates in exploring and solving the problem of global carbon emissions.Ye Yuru, president of the University of Science and Technology of China, also said that the school will make full use of the scientific research strength to jointly promote the development of the country's industry, research, research and development in the field of aerospace and aerospace, and contribute to the construction of a aerospace power and the realization of national dual carbon goals.
Chen Maosheng, deputy general manager of Changguang Satellite Company, said that the strategic cooperation agreement signed by the long light satellite and the University of Science and Technology is designed to carry out in -depth cooperation in technology fields such as scientific satellite development and remote sensing data application.The two sides will continue to cooperate in the field of new remote sensing satellites, promote the joint development of the mainland and Hong Kong aviation Pacific industry, and enhance the remote sensing data service capabilities in Hong Kong and the Guangdong -Hong Kong -Macao Greater Bay Area.
