HONG KONG,June 30,2020/PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

In the 21st century, the rapid development of international commercial space 
industry is recognized as one of the most innovative and explosive industries. 
As the first commercial organization member of the International Astronautical 
Federation (IAF) in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Aerospace Technology Group, Ltd. 
(HKATG) is committed to launching the "Golden Bauhinia" low-orbit satellite 
constellation as the industry core, focusing on the layout of regional space 
satellite big data services, building space industry infrastructure, serving 
regional aerospace commercialization needs, promoting marketization of space 
technology, and making up for regional commercial gap in the space industry of 
the Greater Bay Area.

Recently, based on the principle of equality and mutual benefit, HKATG has 
signed a strategic partnership cooperation agreement with China Great Wall 
Industry Corporation (CGWIC). CGWIC is the only commercial organization 
authorized by the Chinese government to operate commercial launches, provide 
satellites and carry out international space technology cooperation, while 
providing professional personnel training and other aerospace system 
integration services as well as carrying out international operations and 
professional services for aerospace technology application products.

The cooperation includes joint development of the Golden Bauhinia constellation 
system design, satellite design, research and development, testing, launch and 
in-orbit delivery. HKATG will purchase the Golden Bauhinia series of low-orbit 
satellite systems, supporting ground facilities and related services from 
CGWIC. In addition, the two sides will conduct in-depth cooperation in 
commercial deep space exploration, data application services and product 
promotion, space talent training and capacity-building, etc. This cooperation 
is an important milestone for HKATG to pioneer international commercial 
satellite business, and it will use its strategic partner's commercial space 
channels and international advantages to jointly develop the extremely high-end 
market, laying a solid foundation for HKATG to become an advanced international 
space enterprise.
