On October 7, 2015, the “Jilin No. 1” constellation satellite independently developed by Chang Guang Satellite was successfully launched, creating a precedent for the application of commercial satellites in my country, and also creating a history of four satellites being successfully launched by a research and development team. The “Jilin-1” satellite is my country’s first self-developed commercial high-resolution remote sensing satellite, my country’s first self-developed satellite launched in the name of a province, and my country’s first self-developed “satellite-borne integration” satellite. “The commercial satellite, my country’s first self-developed meter-level high-definition dynamic video satellite, is also the first successful in-orbit imaging in a smart way in my country, and the first in-orbit technology verification of domestic CMOS.

According to reports, the first phase of the “Jilin-1” constellation project consists of 138 high-performance optical remote sensing satellites covering video, high-resolution, wide-format, infrared, and multi- spectral series. At present, Changguang Satellite has sent 73 “Jilin-1” satellite constellation network remote sensing satellites into designated orbits through 19 launches (among them, the Video 04 satellite has been decommissioned on August 31, 2022). So far, “Jilin-1” “The satellite constellation has 72 in-orbit remote sensing satellites, and has built the world’s largest sub-meter-level commercial remote sensing satellite constellation, which can provide customers with satellites with high temporal resolution, high spatial resolution, high spectral resolution, and fast wide-area coverage Remote sensing data and comprehensive application services of spatial information based on satellite remote sensing data.

It is worth mentioning that, according to the data of the UCS database, as of May 1, 2022, the total number of satellites in orbit around the world is 5,465. China ranks second with 541 satellites, accounting for about 10%. That is to say, the number of Changguang satellites in orbit accounts for about 13% of the country’s total.

Based on the existing satellites in orbit, the “Jilin No. 1” satellite constellation can revisit any place in the world 23 to 25 times a day, with the ability to cover the world twice a year and the country six times a year. Geographical surveying and mapping, land planning, agricultural and forestry production, ecological environmental protection, smart cities and other fields provide high-quality remote sensing information and product services, which are of great significance to the construction of digital China.

Cumulative revenue of 536 million yuan and a loss of over 1.2 billion yuan. It is estimated that 300 satellites will be in orbit by the end of 2025
