Technologically Leading Aerospace Electronics (Core Chips / Microsystems)
Aerospace Micro is dedicated to the development, design, production, and sales of aerospace embedded SoC processor chips, SiP 3D packaged modules/microsystems, and EMBC aerospace bus control systems. It is a benchmark enterprise for China's aerospace SPARC V8 processor SoC chips and a pioneer in SiP 3D packaged microsystems, addressing issues such as domestic production, security and reliability (ZZKK), high performance, and high reliability in China's aerospace electronic systems.

In response to the urgent demands for high security, high reliability, and miniaturization in aerospace memory and computer system modules, Aerospace Micro spent eight years focusing on the forefront of 3D packaging technology and built Asia's first digital production line for "SiP 3D packaging modules" that meets aerospace electronic standards. It has launched a series of aerospace memory modules (SIP-MEM), composite electronic system modules (SIP-MCES), and computer system modules (SIP-OBC), developing hundreds of microsystem modules/chips that meet customer requirements and achieving domestic production with security and reliability.
Throughout its development in aerospace electronics, the company has emphasized close cooperation with leading research institutes and enterprises, valued international R&D exchanges, and earned a good reputation and extensive domestic and international collaborations.

Leading Hyperspectral Satellite Constellation ("Zhuhai-1" Satellite Constellation)
Guided by the national strategy encouraging "private enterprises to participate in national space infrastructure construction," the company actively participates in national space infrastructure construction and promotes industrial innovation and upgrading. To meet the urgent demand for high temporal and spatial resolution satellite big data in fields such as industrial control, geographic information, and smart cities, it actively builds a "satellite spatial information platform" based on micro-nano satellites, namely the "Zhuhai-1" remote sensing satellite constellation.

The "Zhuhai-1" constellation is the first constellation built and operated by a private listed company in China. Currently, 12 satellites have been launched as planned (4 video satellites and 8 hyperspectral satellites), and all are operating normally in orbit. Among them, the 8 hyperspectral satellites form the world's first commercial hyperspectral satellite constellation, capable of scanning the globe every 2.5 days. Four ground receiving stations with a total of 7 satellite antennas have been built in Zhuhai, Guangdong; Mohe, Heilongjiang; Wusu, Xinjiang; and Gaomi, Shandong. A satellite big data center has been established in Zhuhai. Thus, the company possesses capabilities in satellite TT&C, data reception, data processing, data storage and distribution, and data applications.

Once the "satellite spatial information platform" is completed, its space segment constellation will have the capability to revisit specific targets at least 8 times per day. The 0.9-meter resolution video satellites have video staring and image push-broom capabilities, and its multiple hyperspectral satellites with a swath width of 150 kilometers will be able to observe the entire globe once every approximately two days. The ground segment's satellite big data reception/storage/processing/distribution capacity will reach 7,000 TB per year. This will bring tremendous transformation to the application and development of satellite big data in China, providing efficient satellite big data products and services to fields such as land and resources, agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery, environmental protection, transportation, smart cities, modern finance, personal consumption, and more.

Leading Satellite Big Data Application Platform - 'One Map of Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains' Service Platform
Relying on its own satellite big data resources, the company actively expands large-scale applications in various fields. Aerospace Micro actively implements General Secretary Xi Jinping's green governance philosophy that "lucid waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets," leveraging its advantages in intelligent surveying, satellite big data, and artificial intelligence to create and launch the 'One Map of Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains' service platform. This platform combines the advantages of the "satellite spatial information platform," intelligent surveying, and the "Zhuhai-1" satellite constellation data collection. With near-real-time, hyperspectral, and multi-band satellite big data, it better serves application areas such as natural resources, spatial planning, land resources, urban management, ecological and environmental protection, agriculture and rural areas, precision agriculture, smart ocean, emergency management, disaster prevention and reduction, and smart transportation.

The 'One Map of Lucid Waters and Lush Mountains' project solves problems that traditional methods cannot address. Its outstanding features, such as rapid coverage capability, wide-field remote sensing, hyperspectral quantitative remote sensing, big data fusion, and AI analysis, greatly enrich the service connotation of "digital government" and "smart city." It achieves, for the first time, comprehensive coverage and substantive application of quantitative remote sensing and urban comprehensive monitoring services, significantly improving the rapid response capability of government management, with strong objectivity and high credibility, playing an important supporting role in improving government work efficiency and scientific decision-making.
