The Smart City in the 5G era is on the way, as the satellite industry pioneer, 
Hong Kong Aerospace Technology Group, Ltd. (HKATG), has launched its first 
starlink project, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Golden 
Bauhinia Satellite Constellation. The project is also the first satellite 
starlink project in Hong Kong, which is dedicated to building smart cities in 
the future. It centers on covering the Greater Bay Area, involves 
rapidly-developing city agglomeration, and aims to achieve a dynamically 
in-depth integration of urban informationization, refinement, 
intelligentization as well as people-oriented sustainable development and 
innovation to boost Hong Kong's economy.

The Golden Bauhinia satellite constellation is low-orbit, high-frequency 
constellation, and its huge constellation can obtain the whole ecological life 
cycle data of the entire city agglomeration. Moreover, the Golden Bauhinia 
satellite constellation has a space resolution of 3 meters to Earth 
Observation, with a spectral range between 400nm and 1000nm. Its orbit can 
cover the entire Greater Bay Area once every two days, which is an area of up 
to 56,000 sqkm.

For focused areas of observation, their satellite constellations can revisit 
every 30 minutes to obtain up-to-date information. Coupled with the 
high-resolution CMOS sensor camera ground pixel resolution 2m@500km, the single 
image ground width is better than 54km.

In addition, satellite launches are no longer limited to countries and 
industries, and more commercial satellite applications become feasible. 
According to statistics, the global space economy in 2018 has reached 360 
billion US dollars, and the satellite industry accounts for 77%. While 
launching costs decreasing and the threshold for satellite manufacturing 
lowering, the commercial space launch industry will become mainstream.

Speaking about the future development of the aerospace industry, Sun FengQuan, 
HKATG's Chairman of the Board, said that the satellite constellation and the 
market economy would be increasingly closely correlated to enable the 
commercial space industry to quickly enter the racetrack. Upon this, he 
believes that HKATG, the first enterprise to develop a satellite starlink 
project in Hong Kong, will be on par with the world's top standards, benefiting 
the Greater Bay Area and Asian companies, enhancing their competitiveness and 
helping to build the smart city of the future.
