National Space Administration: Hyperspectral comprehensive observation satellite put into use

       On January 23, the National Space Administration held a ceremony to launch the hyperspectral comprehensive observation satellite in Beijing.

       The hyperspectral comprehensive observation satellite is an important part of the national high-resolution earth observation system major project. In November 2023, the satellite completed the summary and review of the in-orbit test. The satellite is in good condition, all subsystems function normally, and its performance meets the various indicators specified in the general requirements of research and development and construction, and is ready for use. The satellite has the characteristics of hyperspectral, large-scale, and quantitative detection. It can realize the comprehensive detection of polluted gases, inland water bodies, terrestrial ecological environment, altered minerals, rock and mineral categories and other elements. It can provide high-quality and highly reliable hyperspectral data for my country's ecological environment, natural resources, meteorology and other industry applications, especially for strengthening ecological and environmental protection and continuously advancing the battle against pollution. Provide important data support. At present, the satellite ground system has received a total of 245.2TB of data, produced 85,638 scenes of Level 1 product data, and produced and applied 19 types of special products.

       During the satellite's in-orbit operation, user units carried out typical demonstration applications in the fields of natural resources, ecological environment, meteorology, etc. The satellite commissioning ceremony released the satellite's in-orbit delivery application products, including global ozone column concentration monitoring maps, global nitrogen dioxide column concentration monitoring maps, soil moisture monitoring maps, sea ice monitoring maps, soil heavy metal pollution level classification monitoring maps, water quality monitoring maps and other hyperspectral data images, demonstrating the satellite's comprehensive observation capabilities and important application results in water pollution prevention and control, ecological environment supervision, mineral resource investigation, geological environment monitoring, dynamic monitoring of polluted gases, sea ice monitoring, etc. In addition, the satellite data will also be shared on the National Remote Sensing Data and Application Service Platform, which will continue to provide national civil remote sensing data and product application services including hyperspectral comprehensive observation satellite data to users at all levels, and promote the co-construction, sharing and use of China's remote sensing data.

       The National Space Administration is responsible for the organization and implementation of the hyperspectral integrated observation satellite project, and the Earth Observation and Data Center is responsible for the overall work of the satellite project. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Natural Resources, the China Meteorological Administration and other departments are responsible for the construction and demonstration of application systems. The Shanghai Academy of Space Technology of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation is responsible for the development and production of satellites and launch vehicles. The China Resources Satellite Application Center, the Institute of Space Information Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other units are responsible for the construction and operation of the ground system.
