At 10:54 am on July 22nd, six "Dongpo" series satellites jointly developed by Micro Nano Starry Sky and Huantian Intelligence were successfully launched on the Gravity 1 Yao-4 carrier rocket in the eastern waters of Shanghai. About 1.5 hours after the separation of the satellite and the arrow, two optical satellites (Dongpo 13 and Dongpo 14) transmitted high-definition remote sensing images back and forth. The satellites were in good orbit and all telemetry parameters were normal.
It is reported that the Dongpo 13 and 14 satellites launched this time are equipped with advanced AI intelligent payloads, greatly enhancing their in orbit intelligent processing and high-speed data transmission capabilities. The Dongpo 13 satellite transmitted remote sensing images from the Olympic Sports Center in Leshan City, Sichuan Province at 12:34 today, and the Dongpo 14 satellite transmitted remote sensing images from Guanghe County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province at 12:32 today.

The entire process from launch to the transmission of the first batch of high-definition remote sensing images took less than two hours. This rapid response marks that the satellite has efficiently completed the closed-loop process of attitude stabilization, in orbit self inspection, ground imaging, and data transmission, fully verifying the maturity of the core technology solution for agile control of the satellite platform, satellite ground link scheduling, and payload in orbit operation.
Previously, the Taijing-3 05A and 05B binary satellites also transmitted high-definition images of Almaty within 2 hours of entering orbit. Today, the Dongpo 13 and 14 satellites have further achieved a high-speed imaging of about 1.5 hours. This continuous improvement in capability means that the micro nano starry sky rapid imaging operation mode has been normalized.
Under the deep empowerment of AI intelligent payloads, the Dongpo series optical satellites jointly developed by Micro Nano Starry Sky and Huantian Intelligence have successfully established a new working paradigm of "space front-end computing+on-demand precise feedback". After the satellite performs observation tasks in orbit, it can automatically identify and mark key targets in orbit without waiting for massive raw data to "land", and prioritize the push of research and judgment information. This technological breakthrough has significantly improved the response time of remote sensing data. With this intelligent real-time remote sensing capability, the circular constellation will accurately and efficiently meet the growing demand for aerospace information data applications in southwestern China.
