The first launch service star of intelligent remote sensing constellation
On February 3, 2024, at noon Beijing time, Lu Hai Kong Jian (Yantai) Information Technology Co., Ltd. independently developed the `Yantai 2` satellite, which departed from Dongfang Aerospace Port in Haiyang City, Yantai and arrived near Yangjiang, Guangdong. The satellite was successfully launched using the Jielong 3 Y3 carrier rocket and entered its intended orbit.
Lu Hai Kong Jian (Yantai) Information Technology Co., Ltd. was jointly initiated by Shandong Provincial Marine Aerospace Equipment Technology Innovation Center and Academician Li Deren and his team from Wuhan University, with Academician Li Deren serving as the Chief Scientist. The company is committed to providing fast, accurate, and intelligent remote sensing information services directly to intelligent terminals for professional and general users.
The Yantai 2 satellite operates in a sun synchronous orbit of 520km and is equipped with a high-resolution TDI scanning camera. The satellite has a resolution of 0.5m, a width of 12km, and a maximum data transmission rate of 1.8Gbps. The comprehensive indicators of the satellite are at the forefront of commercial aerospace. The satellite is equipped with intelligent processing terminals and applies relevant intelligent processing technologies verified by the Yantai 1 spacecraft in orbit. On this basis, the satellite has uniquely designed a real-time generation function for ROI standard images in orbit, which can generate and transmit images of areas of user concern in real-time, effectively improving the speed and efficiency of user acquisition of standard images, and greatly expanding the application field of in orbit intelligent processing.
As the first operational satellite of the `Dong Fang Hui Yan` intelligent remote sensing constellation, the successful launch of the 'Yantai 2' satellite is an important practice of the 'Navigation and Remote Sensing' integrated intelligent remote sensing satellite system, which is of great significance for the subsequent constellation construction. After the satellite was put into operation, based on profound industry understanding and multi-dimensional technical support capabilities, the high-performance computing power of the Dongfang Aerospace Port Intelligent Computing Center was aggregated, and AI remote sensing models were introduced to provide real-time spatiotemporal observation intelligent analysis and decision-making services, forming a typical and deeply integrated industry application example.
In 2024, Lu Hai Kong Jian Company will accelerate the construction of the first phase of the 'Oriental Eye' constellation while verifying the key technology of the 'Yantai 2' satellite, and promote the development process of two hyperspectral satellites in the first phase of the '1+2' demonstration service system. We will continue to explore the popularization of intelligent remote sensing data services and create 'satellite+' innovative application demonstration projects in fields such as smart agriculture, environmental monitoring, emergency management, energy management, and transportation.
