"Skyscanner Space" launch satellite launch ceremony

On July 7, in Shanghai, Suzhou Skyscanner Space Technology Co., Ltd. organized the launch ceremony and follow-up application exchange meeting of the Henan Polytechnic No. 1 satellite developed by the company. Jin Shuanggen, vice president of Henan Polytechnic University, and other relevant leaders, Yu Jin, general manager of Suzhou Tiansun Space Technology Co., Ltd., Wei Ran, general manager of Shanghai AES Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd., and Jiang Wei, deputy general manager, attended the meeting.

Henan Polytechnic No. 1 satellite is the first star of the company's constellation. The satellite is jointly developed by Suzhou Tianxun Space Technology Co., Ltd., Henan Polytechnic University and Dicelsia Space Technology (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. The satellite can realize intelligent perception and remote sensing. Follow-up It can be widely used in emergency disaster reduction, agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, marine and other industries. The Henan Ligong-1 satellite will go to the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center on July 16, and it will be launched on the Galaxy Power "Gushenxing-1" Y7 carrier rocket.
It seems like that fish Koi in Y7 badge doesn’t mean the launch will be from Sea, just represents auspiciousness, The Y7 and Y6 both might be launched from Jiuquan.

The spirit of dragon and horse explores the sky again! MN100-2, MN30-3 double star set off today

In the midsummer and the sun, the cicadas are singing gradually, and we set off again for an appointment with the stars and the sea.

On the morning of July 16th, Micro-Nano Star held the MN100-2 and MN30-3 double-star expedition ceremony, and some leaders and employees of the company took a group photo.

The two satellites for this expedition are optical remote sensing satellites with two different platforms designed and developed by Micro-Nano Starry Sky for user needs.

Among them, the MN100-2 satellite adopts technologies such as low-cost, high-reliability, high-integration comprehensive electronic design, multi-load and multi-mode mission design, and on-orbit software reconfigurability, and further streamlines and optimizes the development process on the basis of full simulation, testing and experiments. Explore new models for the development of micro-satellites. The satellites carry a variety of remote sensing business loads and new technology test loads, which will be applied to land resources, emergency management, ocean water color, disaster monitoring, urban construction and other fields.

MN30-3 is a 35kg satellite mass-produced based on the MN30 platform, which maintains the company's core advantage of "differentiated development path + mass production capacity". As a miniaturized optical remote sensing satellite, it carries laser communication payloads, cameras and optical payloads at the same time. It has inter-satellite laser communication capture and communication tasks, laser communication payload communication to the ground, laser communication payload commands trigger optical payload imaging, and laser communication payload commands. Triggering inter-satellite communication tasks and optical load imaging data transmission tasks and other advanced working modes can realize remote sensing earth observation and inter-satellite interconnection. It is a very innovative remote sensing satellite.

Thousands of scouring and thousands of drums are hard work, but after blowing all the sand, you can get to gold. The MN100-2 and MN30-3 dual satellites will be launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the near future, laying a technical foundation for subsequent larger-scale networking.
The time from set off to launch about two months, so this launch might be in September.

Heavy! Elliptical space-time first satellite set off

On July 16, Ellipse Space-Time (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Ellipse Space-time") held the expedition ceremony for Xingchi-1 B star. Zhang Tao, chairman of Ellipse, Di Fengping, president, and all staff representatives of Ellipse attended the ceremony.

It is reported that the Xingchi-1B satellite will be launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in the near future. After the satellite is put into orbit, it will carry out application promotion in agriculture, forestry, water conservancy, ocean, ecological environment, electric power, petroleum, railway transportation and other application fields to help the construction of digital earth.
This Xingchi-1B (星池一号B) might one of 1- payloads.

Changfeng Wanli Starts the Journey Again | Zhongke Xiguang Aerospace Xiguang-1 Satellite 01, Xi'an Aviation Investment No. 88, No. 96, No. 104, and No. 112 Remote Sensing Small Satellites Expedition Ceremony was successfully held

Recently, the Ceremony for the launch of Xiguang-1 Satellite 01, Xi'an Hangtou 88, 96, 104, and 112 remote sensing small satellites was successfully held in Xi'an, Shaanxi. Company leaders, satellite test team members and key employees attended the ceremony.

The satellites for this expedition are launched with one rocket and five satellites, and are in orbit in a 530km sun-synchronous orbit. Among them, the Xiguang-101 satellite has various imaging modes such as integrated detection and imaging, continuous strips, multi-strips, multi-targets, and video, and high-speed data transmission capabilities. It is equipped with infrared cameras, hyperspectral cameras, panchromatic cameras, on-board intelligent processing units, and optical switches. Smart cities, atmospheric environment, disaster prevention and reduction, forest fire monitoring and other fields provide solid scientific and technological support for urban monitoring, ecological protection and scientific management in Shaanxi and even the whole country.

Xi'an Aviation Investment No. 88, No. 96, No. 104, and No. 112 remote sensing small satellites are composed of four low-weight, low-power optical remote sensing satellites, equipped with light and small optical cameras, and take the Qinling Mountains as the core monitoring area to build a regional ecological sustainability monitoring system. The remote sensing image data provided are mainly used in multiple fields such as Qinling ecological protection, geological resource development, agricultural production safety, environmental protection and ecological construction, infrastructure planning, and land resource management.

The satellites for this expedition will be launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center at an optional time. After the members of the satellite test team arrive, they will quickly carry out a series of work such as follow-up inspections, tests, and satellite-rocket docking to ensure the successful completion of the launch mission.
This luanch might be one rocket five sats in near future about September , the payloads as below:
Xiguang-1 01 (西光壹号01)
Xi'an Hangtou-88 (西安航投88号)
Xi'an Hangtou-96 (西安航投96号)

7 sats but 10 names. Every party involved claims they built the sat without mentioning a full list of collaborators. Just one of many elements making it hard to track Chinese spaceflights. But I think I figured it out after 1 day of checking news reports of CERES-1 Y7 launch

I do not buy this.
On July 16, MinoSpace sent MN100-2 and MN30-3 from Beijing to Jiuquan (see https://weibo.com/6884222611/NahkE3frn ).
On July 21, Xiopm SPACE said they recently had sent Xiguang 1 01 and Xi'an Hangtou 88, 96, 104, and 112 from Xi'an to Jiuquan (see https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/pTluB7l3vqj23gpjJy7Vyg ).
I cannot see how in this case Xiguang 1 01 could be MN100-2.

In that case, by the process of elimination, if Xingchi 1B is MN30-3 then Dewei Zhineng Yingji 1  (Henan Ligong 1) should be MN100-2.

Close-up view of the launch of CERES-1 Y7, shared by its sponsor, Hao Huan Luo, a Chinese rice noodle soup brand.

You may or may not have noticed that the Chinese national flag was wiped from this little white rocket. That's because it's illegal to use the national flag in any commercial materials according to the Advertisement Law.

Hao Huan Luo also shared a short video taken by camera on the payload adapter in 535km SSO, displaying its brand in space
