Jilin Linye-1 (Lingqiao Shipin 03) is an earth observation satellite of the Chinese Chang Guang SatelliteTechnology Ltd (CGSTL).
He was born on January 9, 2017 at 4:11 UTC with a kuaizhou-1A - carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center polar (together with the two CubeSats-2U Shiyan-1 and Kaidun-1 'Caton-1') into geostationary / / Sun-synchronous / brought to low earth orbit. According to a press release from the rocket marketer ExPace , the launch was originally due to take place in December 2016.
The three-axis stabilized satellite is equipped with a camera that creates 4K HD videos with a resolution of one meter and a swath width of 11 km × 4.5 km. It should serve to monitor forest areas. It was built by Chang Guang Satellite Technology and has a planned lifespan of three years. The company is a spin-off of the Changchun Institute for Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics (CIOMP), which is part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). The power requirement of the satellite systems should be a maximum of 55 watts and is taken over by solar cells attached to the outside of the satellite . The collected data is transmitted to Earth in the X-band at a speed of 350 megabits per second.
