China launches new Earth observation satellite
Source: Xinhua | 2019-11-03 19:15:07 | Editor: mingmei

TAIYUAN, Nov. 3 (Xinhua) -- China on Sunday launched a new Earth observation satellite, Gaofen-7, which will play an important role in land surveying and mapping, urban and rural construction and statistical investigation, according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

The Gaofen-7, launched on a Long March-4B rocket at 11:22 a.m. (Beijing Time) from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in northern China's Shanxi Province, is China's first civil-use optical transmission three-dimensional surveying and mapping satellite that reaches the sub-meter level, CNSA said.

The satellite and carrier rocket were developed by the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) and the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology under the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

The users of the Gaofen-7 satellite will be mainly from the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the National Bureau of Statistics.

Via the same carrier rocket, three other commercial and scientific experiment satellites including one developed for Sudan were also sent into space.

The development of the Gaofen-7 has achieved a breakthrough in sub-meter level 3D mapping camera technology, meeting the highest mapping accuracy requirement among the Gaofen series Earth observation satellites, CNSA said.

It can obtain high-resolution optical 3D observation data and high-precision laser altimetry data and can realize 1:10,000 scale satellite 3D mapping for civil use in China, according to CNSA.

The satellite can meet the needs of users in basic mapping, global geographic information, monitoring and evaluation in urban and rural construction, agricultural survey and statistics, etc.

Cao Haiyi, chief designer of Gaofen-7 from CAST, said the satellite also has excellent positioning accuracy. For instance, it is able to accurately locate the roads in the countryside.

The new satellite will work together with other Gaofen satellites to form an Earth observation system with high resolution and high positioning accuracy, which will help promote international sci-tech industrial cooperation through data sharing and support the Belt and Road initiative, said Wang Xiang, chief commander of the Gaofen-7 satellite project.

Since the Gaofen project began in 2010, China has had an increasingly clearer view of the planet. Launched in April 2013, Gaofen-1 can cover the globe in just four days.

Gaofen-2, sent into space in August 2014, is accurate to 0.8 meters in full color and can collect multispectral images of objects greater than 3.2 meters in length.

Gaofen-4, launched in late 2015, is China's first geosynchronous orbit high-definition optical imaging satellite.

Gaofen-3, launched in August 2016, is China's first synthetic aperture radar imaging satellite.

Gaofen-5, launched in May 2018, has the highest spectral resolution of China's remote sensing satellites.

Gaofen-6, launched in June 2018, has a similar function to that of Gaofen-1, but with better cameras, and its high-resolution images can cover a large area of the earth.

Data from the Gaofen series satellites have been widely used in more than 20 industries across China. The project has helped reduce China's dependence on foreign remote sensing satellite data.

The focus of the project will be shifted to application in the future. An advanced land, atmosphere and ocean observation system is expected to be completed in 2020 to provide services for modern agriculture, disaster prevention and mitigation, resources and environmental management and public security protection, said CNSA.

China launches first sub-meter class satellite into space

 CGTN

3 нояб. 2019 г.

China's first sub-meter high-resolution optical transmission stereo mapping satellite Gaofen-7 was successfully launched at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in the northern province of Shanxi. Compared with ordinary optical remote sensing satellites, Gaofen-7 can draw three-dimensional images, meaning that all the buildings in the world will be a series of three-dimensional models once it is put into use. The successful launch means that the status quo of the high-resolution stereo remote sensing image market relying heavily on foreign satellites will be broken, leading China into a new era of independent large-scale space mapping.

China tests grid fins with launch of Gaofen-7 imaging satellite
by Andrew Jones — November 4, 2019

TAMPERE, Finland — A Chinese Long March 4B delivered an Earth observation into orbit satellite late Saturday, with grid fins guiding the descent of the rocket's first stage.

The launch took place at 11:22 p.m. at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China. For the first time the Long March 4B first stage carried a grid fin system to constrain the area in which it falls.

Most of China's launches take place at thee centers far inland, resulting in debris landing downrange. The grid fins are to both reducing risk and mark a step toward future retropropulsive landings and launcher reusability.

Both the launch and the test of the grid fin system were declared successful, with the first stage falling within the designated area.

The main payload for the mission was the Gaofen-7 optical Earth observation satellite, sent into a 489 by 528-kilometer orbit inclined by 97.5 degrees.

Gaofen-7 is designed to obtain high resolution optical 3D observation data and high-precision laser altimetry. Gaofen satellites are part of the civilian China High-resolution Earth Observation System.

Iodine propulsion, Sudan in orbit

Joining the main Gaofen-7 payload were two small satellites and a CubeSat. The Sudan Remote Sensing Satellite was developed by Shenzhen Aerospace Dongfanghong HIT Satellite Ltd. Huangpu-1, a technology demonstration satellite, was developed under the Shanghai Institute of Satellite Engineering.

The final passenger was developed by Spacety, a privately-owned Chinese satellite manufacturer based in Changsha. The 6U CubeSat is a technology test for multispectral imaging.

The Dianfeng spacecraft also carries a 0.4 kilogram laser communication payload from LaserFleet for technology verification tests. LaserFleet is a spin-off from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) with plans to build a low Earth orbit constellation providing broadband services that through laser communications.

The satellite includes an Iodine-based propulsion system developed and built by ThrustMe, a French company founded in 2017. The system a first-of-its-kind, non-pressurized, cold gas thruster fuelled by solid iodine, according to a ThrustMe press release.

Grid fins for debris, reusability

The hypergolic Long March 4B is designed and manufactured by the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST). It is also developing a new variant of its new generation Long March 6 kerolox launcher. Utilizing landing legs and grid fins it will be capable of Falcon 9-style vertical takeoff and vertical landing.

The China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT) tested grid fins on a Long March 2C in July. CALT is developing its own retropropulsive landing capabilities for use on the planned Long March 8.

SAST and CALT are subsidiaries of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), China's main space contractor.

In 2017 CASC released a space transportation roadmap, outlining ambitions to make its launch vehicles fully reusable by 2035.

Earth observation system, launch cadence

China now has 14 Gaofen satellites in orbit forming a civilian Earth observation constellation. These provide panchromatic, multispectral and synthetic aperture radar imagery.

Unlike other satellites nominally included in the series, specifications for Gaofen-11, launched in July 2018, have not been released. Computer generated renders of the spacecraft on-orbit suggest a large aperture high resolution Earth observation satellite with resemblance to U.S. Keyhole-class satellites.

The Nov. 2 launch was China's 23rd of 2019, including two launch failures and a communications satellite stuck in geosynchronous transfer orbit. A Long March 3B launch of a Beidou navigation satellite could take place Monday from Xichang, despite an absence of airspace closure notifications.

Launch of a commercial Kuaizhou-1A solid rocket was scrubbed last week but is expected to launch in the coming days. Aboard will be a Jilin-1 high resolution commercial remote sensing satellite. This will be followed days later by a further Kuaizhou-1A launch from Jiuquan carrying small satellites for CAS.

French startup ThrustMe found fast route to orbit through China's Spacety
by Andrew Jones — November 25, 2019

French propulsion startup ThrustMe unexpectedly made it into orbit early this month with its innovative propulsion system placed aboard a Chinese cubesat.

Dianfeng, or Xiaoxiang-1 (08), a six-unit cubesat developed by privately owned Spacety, was a secondary payload on the launch of the Gaofen-7 civilian Earth observation satellite Nov. 2, along with a first satellite for Sudan.

As with many Chinese launches, secondary payloads were not announced until after launch success was declared, but further surprises were aboard.

Along with small laser communications payloads for Chinese commercial companies, Dianfeng carries ThrustMe's I2T5 non-pressurized, cold gas thruster fueled by solid iodine, which the company says is a first of its kind.

Designed for three- to six-unit cubesats, the 0.9-kilogram wet mass, low-thrust system allows a level of propulsion for collision avoidance, expanding time in orbit or assisting deorbiting as part of debris mitigation.

Founded in 2017, ThrustMe sought to commercialize iodine-based propulsion technology. It quickly developed a cold gas thruster and is working on an electric propulsion system for smallsats.

With an international team with expertise in fields such as space engineering, plasma physics, materials science, fluid dynamics, electronics and chemistry, ThrustMe has overcome challenges of dealing with corrosive iodine for space-based propulsion. The products can be shipped pre-filled and remain non-pressurized during launch.

The cooperation between the ThrustMe and Spacety developed rapidly, with a deal inked in February this year resulting in the early November launch.

"The speed and process of decision-making was quick and clear," Ane Aanesland, joint founder and CEO of ThrustMe, told SpaceNews. "The execution of the project was very efficient."

Aanesland said ThrustMe had received lots of interest from potential clients, but Spacety was willing to take the risk of employing an untested propulsion system.

Spacety, founded in 2016 and based in Changsha in central China, describes itself as specializing in low-cost, high-performance and reliable microsatellite platforms. The launch was the ninth the company has been involved in, with Dianfeng being the company's 15th satellite in orbit.

It is working with partners including LaserFleet, a spinoff from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) that plans to build a low Earth orbit constellation providing broadband services through laser communications. Spacety quickly recognized the opportunities presented by ThrustMe.

Weijia Ren, co-founder and CTO of Spacety, said in a post-launch news release that the firm, "saw the potential for us in a long-term collaboration with ThrustMe so we can provide the best propulsion solutions to our clients in China."

Notably, ThrustMe needed — and received — assistance from the French government and embassy to get the deal through fast. However, while cooperation developed quickly, there will be a wait before the parties can assess the performance of the system and chart deeper cooperation.

The first month of the mission will be dedicated to commissioning. After this, four other payloads, including two laser communications technology demonstrations and a multispectral imager, will be tested before the I2T5 thruster. This means it will be between two-to-six months before the results come in.

Spacety said it was unable to comment before testing of the propulsion system. But Aanesland says both companies have expressed keen interest in furthering cooperation. And while talks with other Chinese firms have taken place, Spacety stood out.

Tianyi Lan, founder of Ultimate Blue Nebula Co., Ltd.,a Beijing-based space consulting company, told SpaceNews that more such deals between European and Chinese firms can be expected.

"Compared with U.S. export policies and regulations, [the] European space environment is better ... The [biggest] barrier should be the ITAR-like regulations, but more and more European companies are developing ITAR-free components or devices to meet the regulations," Lan says.

Lan notes that Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd, GomSpace, ISIS and Thales Alenia Space have all previously developed good partnerships with Chinese space companies.

He also underlines that the space industry is very much international, with "everyone looking for more business benefits from the international market."

"We believe that new companies like ThrustMe will gain more market in China, and China's new space companies will create new cooperation opportunities with EU companies, based on flexible launch rates and price, manufacturing costs, and a huge market," Lan said.

Aanesland says China has not yet truly fostered a culture of innovation, presenting opportunities for European companies and win-win cooperation, but that window may soon close.

"I find it extremely fascinating what is happening in China. If you look at R&D development and how quickly they work, if we don't start working with China now, we'll be left on the sidelines."

ThrustMe will see a demo of its NPT30 miniaturized electric propulsion system on the GomSpace GOMX-5 ESA mission, to launch in 2021. Spacety's next mission could come as soon as late November, and is also developing larger satellite platforms.

BEIJING, Aug. 20 (Xinhua) -- The China National Space Administration announced on Thursday that the Gaofen-7 Earth observation satellite has been put into service, representing significant progress for the country's surveying and mapping capabilities.

Launched on Nov. 3, 2019, Gaofen-7 is China's first civil-use optical transmission 3D surveying and mapping satellite that reaches the sub-meter level.

Equipped with two line-scan cameras and a laser altimeter, the satellite can provide 1:10,000 scale satellite 3D mapping for users in China and countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.

During in-orbit tests, satellite functions such as the monitoring of geographical conditions, agricultural surveys, and road constructions have been verified, said Zhang Kejian, head of the administration.

In May, using data from the Gaofen-7 and Ziyuan III satellites, scientists drew a 1:10,000 scale topographic map for surveyors to measure the height of Mount Qomolangma.

Since the Gaofen project began in 2010, China has had an increasingly clearer view of the planet. According to the administration, data from the Gaofen series of satellites have been used in more than 20 industries across the country.

Images captured by the Gaofen-2 satellite were used to help monitor the construction work of two makeshift hospitals, Huoshenshan and Leishenshan, in Wuhan, after the COVID-19 outbreak.

Gaofen-3 has contributed to the monitoring of the flood situation along Poyang Lake, China's largest freshwater lake, in the eastern province of Jiangxi.

With Gaofen satellite data, researchers also conducted ecological environment investigations for poor areas in the northwestern province of Gansu.

"Gaofen-7 will further meet the needs of users in basic mapping, global geographic information, monitoring, and evaluation in urban and rural construction, etc.," said Zhang.

Китай ввел в эксплуатацию спутник "Гаофэнь-7"
2020-08-20 19:10:10丨Russian.News.Cn

Пекин, 20 августа /Синьхуа/ -- Спутник наблюдения Земли "Гаофэнь-7" в четверг был официально введен в эксплуатацию, что свидетельствует о значительном прогрессе страны в области геодезической съемки и картографирования, объявило Государственное космическое управление /ГКУ/ Китая.

"Гаофэнь-7", запущенный 3 ноября 2019 года, является первым в Китае спутником гражданского назначения для стереоскопической съемки и картографирования, который выполняет съемку с пространственным разрешением менее одного метра. Он может обеспечить картографирование в 3D-формате с масштабной шкалой 1:10000 для пользователей в Китае и странах, расположенных вдоль "Пояса и пути".

В ходе орбитальных испытаний были проверены такие функции спутника, как мониторинг географических условий, измерение посевной площади сельскохозяйственных культур, и мониторинг автодорожного строительства, сообщил глава ГКУ Чжан Кэцзянь.

В мае с.г. с помощью данных, переданных со спутников "Гаофэнь-7" и "Цзыюань-3", ученые составили карту масштабом 1:10000 для геодезистов, чтобы измерить высоту горы Джомолунгма.

С момента начала реализации проекта "Гаофэнь" в 2010 году данные со спутников этой серии космических аппаратов уже использовались в более чем 20 отраслях промышленности по всей стране.
