Hong Kong Aerospace Technology Group Prepares to Launch their First Satellite "Golden Bauhinia No.1"
HONG KONG, April 3, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

Hong Kong Aerospace Technology Group (HKATG) announced it aims to launch the 
"Golden Bauhinia No.1" low-orbit high frequency satellite in June from China. 
The planned launch marks an important milestone in the company's "Golden 
Bauhinia" space remote sensing project.

The rapid development of international commercial aerospace makes it one of the 
most dynamic industries after the Internet, AI and 5G. According to the US 
Satellite Industry Association (SIA), commercial aerospace revenue was US$277.4 
billion in 2018 and is expected to increase 10 percent per year.

Humanity is shifting from needing an aerospace industry to dependency; with the 
strategic and commercial value of space infrastructure becoming ever more 
apparent. As the modern aerospace industry takes shape, the value of orbit and 
spectrum base resources will become highly sought-after "space real estate."

The strategic value of the aerospace industry has driven investment into 
commercial aerospace organizations in Europe and America; with the market value 
of commercial aerospace enterprises listed in the US continually reaching new 
heights.

HKATG is the first International Astronautical Federation's member in Hong 
Kong. Mr. SUN FENGQUAN, Chairman of the Board of Directors of HKATG, said "the 
Greater Bay Area aerospace industry generates tens of billions of dollars in 
demand each year. The new development direction of HKATG is centred on regional 
urban agglomeration, and launching the "Golden Bauhinia Constellation."

Using mobile target monitoring, space AI and dynamic change monitoring, the 
"Golden Bauhinia Constellation" aims to achieve commercial application and 
development of communications, navigation, and remote sensing systems with 
global 24-hour online tracking and the ability to re-visit key areas in under 
30 minutes.

The "Golden Bauhinia" project aims to launch 165 low-orbit, high-frequency 
satellites in 2020 covering the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and 
serve the world's fastest-growing urban centres. The satellite to relaunched in 
June was designed, manufactured and patented by HKATG.
