【我国首个即时遥感星座将启动建设，该星座由上百颗低轨遥感卫星组成】11月25日，第七届中国（国际）商业航天高峰论坛在武汉开幕。在本次论坛上，航天科工集团宣布我国首个即时遥感星座将启动建设，该星座将由上百颗低轨遥感卫星组成，形成全球覆盖的对地观测能力。尤其是观测效率将大幅提升。组网完成后，在几分钟之内就能获取全球任意区域的卫星观测数据，而以往的遥感卫星数据的获取往往需要几个小时甚至几天。
航天科工集团三院卫星运营产业技术总监 袁鸿翼：这个星座，实际从设计上它是个整体，卫星和卫星间有星间链路，可以通过很多卫星对同一个地区连续观测，实现高频次、分钟级的观测能力​

[my country's first real-time remote sensing constellation will start construction, which is composed of hundreds of low-orbit remote sensing satellites]

On November 25, the 7th China (International) Commercial Space Summit Forum opened in Wuhan. At this forum, the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation announced that my country's first real-time remote sensing constellation will start construction. The constellation will be composed of hundreds of low-orbit remote sensing satellites, forming a global coverage of Earth observation capabilities. Especially the observation efficiency will be greatly improved. After the networking is completed, satellite observation data from any area of the world can be obtained within a few minutes, whereas the acquisition of remote sensing satellite data in the past often took several hours or even days.

Yuan Hongyi, Technical Director of Satellite Operation Industry of the Third Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp: This constellation is actually design as a whole. There are inter-satellite links between satellites. The same area can be continuously observed through many satellites to achieve high frequency, minute interval observation capability.

The recovery first stage vs non recovery only sacrifice a 15% reduction in payload. Quite efficient.

【刚才！长七A海南起飞】据央视新闻消息，12月23日18时12分，CZ-7A运载火箭在中国文昌航天发射场点火起飞，托举试验十二号卫星01星、02星直冲云霄，随后卫星进入预定轨道，发射任务取得圆满成功。​

试验十二号卫星01星、02星是由中国航天科技集团有限公司五院研制的两颗3吨级卫星，主要用于空间环境探测及相关技术试验。​

CZ-7A火箭是由航天科技集团一院研制的三级液体捆绑式新一代中型高轨运载火箭，采用直径3.35米芯级，捆绑4个直径2.25米助推器，地球同步转移轨道运力可达7吨，全箭总长60.7米，是我国目前在役的最高火箭。（文，刘岩；视频，宋涛）​

【Just now! CZ-7A takes off from Hainan ]

According to CCTV news, at 18:12 on December 23, the CZ-7A carrier rocket took off at the Wenchang Space Launch Site in China, lifting the Shiyan-12 satellites 01 and 02 into the sky , And then the satellite entered the scheduled orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.

The Shiyan-12 satellites 01 and 02 are two 3-ton satellites developed by the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation Limited. They are mainly used for space environment detection and related technical tests.

The CZ-7A rocket is a three-stage liquid bundled new-generation medium-sized high-orbit launch vehicle developed by the First Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology Group. It adopts a core stage with a diameter of 3.35 meters and bundles 4 boosters with a diameter of 2.25 meters. The geosynchronous transfer orbital capacity can reach a total of 7 tons and a total length of 60.7 meters, it is the tallest rocket currently in service in my country.

This launch is reported to be the 140 launch globally for 2021.

Breaking the previous record of 139 launch in a year made during the cold war in 1967.
