Optical Remote Sensing Satellite in-orbit Delivery
This model of satellite export involves a satellite developed and launched into orbit domestically by a Chinese commercial aerospace enterprise. After successful in-orbit testing and verification that it meets the agreed technical specifications, and upon approval by relevant authorities, the satellite is delivered in-orbit to an overseas customer. This model of in-orbit delivery has already been successfully implemented once in the commercial aerospace sector with a transfer to a Belt and Road country.
Joint Development of Optical Remote Sensing Satellite
With approval from relevant authorities, this satellite export model involves joint development and launch of the satellite within China by a Chinese commercial aerospace enterprise and the customer. The entire process—including satellite development, launch, and in-orbit testing—is carried out collaboratively by the manufacturer and the customer, culminating in the satellite's successful in-orbit delivery.
In-orbit Delivery of Other Satellites
Other types of satellites include: LEO narrowband communication satellites, LEO broadband communication satellites, SAR remote sensing satellites, GNSS radio occultation satellites, GEO communication satellites, and functional test CubeSats.
