Mission Details

Jilin-1 Kuanfu 01

Jilin 1 satellites are a series of Chinese commercial remote sensing satellites for high-definition video within the Jilin-1 constellation designed and owned by the Chang Guang Satellite Technology Co.

The Jilin-1 Gaofen-01 or Jilin-1 Wideband-01 satellite features a high-resolution and wide-field-of-view telephoto range imager. The push-broom imager with a multi-spectral resolution better than 4 m and a swath width greater than 136 km features high-speed storage and high-speed digital transmission systems.

Sun-Synchronous Orbit

ÑuSat-7 & 8

The Argentinian ÑuSat earth observation satellites form the Aleph-1 constellation developed and operated by Satellogic S.A.

The satellites in the constellation are identical 40 cm × 43 cm × 75 cm spacecraft of 37 kg mass. The satellites are equipped with an imaging system operating in visible light and infrared. The constellation will allow for commercially available real-time Earth imaging and video with a ground resolution of 1 m.

Apocalypse 5

Tianqi (also transcribed Tiange) is a series of small Chinese experimental LEO comsats by Guodian Gaoke for IoT (Internet of Things) communications, which are also carrying a camera for educational purposes.

Guodian Gaoke plans to operate an IoT constellation. The "Apocalypse Constellation" provides users with much-needed data collection and transmission services for terrestrial network coverage blind areas, which are widely used in marine, environmental protection, meteorological, forestry, geological, emergency, rescue, and smart city industries to enhance China's global data network coverage and application capabilities are of strategic importance.
