Having sent two satellites into space within 100 days after its establishment, a young Chinese commercial space firm is preparing for a new launch in December.

 

中国一家新商业航天公司成立100天之内即向太空发射两颗卫星，目前该公司正在进行12月新发射任务的准备工作。
 

 

Supported by the local government, the Chengdu GuoXing Aerospace¹ Technology Co. Ltd. was set up in the capital of southwest China's Sichuan Province in May. It has developed two experimental satellites integrated with AI technology.

 

"The AI technology could give the satellite a stronger capability² of automatic data analysis," said Zhao Hongjie, vice³ president of the startup firm.

 

For instance, the remote sensing satellite with AI technology could autonomously⁴ identify clouds and fog, and select the useful images to send back to earth, thus greatly improving its working efficiency, Zhao said.

 

One such kind of AI satellite developed by the company for commercial use was sent into the sun-synchronous orbit on Oct. 29.
