Hong Kong Aerospace Technology Group successfully launched Golden Bauhinia No.1 (05 and 06)

At 14:35 on 9^th December, 2022, Hong Kong Aerospace Technology Group had successfully launched two satellites under “Golden Bauhinia Satellite No.1 (05)-APSCO-1” and “Golden Bauhinia Satellite No.1 (06)/ JXNU No.1” on the offshore launch platform in the Yellow Sea area, China. Both of these satellites had successfully entered their planned orbits and are currently operating normally in orbits, marking the completion of launching mission.

Both of these satellites are optical remote sensing satellites equipped with optical camera and satellite platforms which have achieved technological breakthroughs including miniaturization, high-speed data transmission and zero-momentum control. The satellite system can also provide remote data services regarding agricultural disaster monitoring, forest fire prevention, forestry resource survey, environmental monitoring, geology and mineral monitoring and flash flood monitoring. Other than that, the group will develop and design Carbon satellites, SAR satellites and communication satellites, in an aim to enhance data collection of the Golden Bauhinia Constellation project.
