ThrustMe and Spacety first collaborated in 2019 on the I2T5 non-pressurized cold gas thruster aboard Xiaoxiang-1 (08) CubeSat.
A larger NPT30 propulsion system is installed on Hisea-1, Spacety’s miniature C-band SAR satellite launched on the Long March 8 test flight in 2020-12-01.
ThrustMe successfully tested an iodine-fueled electric propulsion system in space aboard the Spacety Beihangkongshi-1 satellite.
Spacety began receiving data from Hisea-1’s SAR payload three days after launch.
Hisea-1 is the first launched satellite of TY-MiniSAR, the first generation of light and small SAR satellites developed by Spacety.
Spacety acquired its first batch of SAR imagery from Hisea-1 on 2020-12-27, including a three-meter-resolution image of Tennessee published on 2020-12-30.
Spacety plans to build, launch, and operate a constellation of 56 small SAR satellites.
The Long March 8 that launched Hisea-1 also deployed a space science satellite developed jointly by Hebei University of Technology and Spacety.
Spacety released the first images from Hisea-1, a C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite.
Spacety and ThrustMe completed commissioning of an on-orbit demonstration of iodine electric propulsion a month before Hisea-1’s launch and planned longer thruster firings thereafter.
Spacety developed the TY-MINISAR family of light and small SAR satellites and Hisea-1 is the first launched satellite of TY-MINISAR.
ThrustMe worked with Spacety for over one and a half years testing its propulsion solutions prior to Hisea-1 deployment.
Hisea-1 is a miniature synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) satellite for Spacety and was one of the four smaller payloads on the Long March 8 flight.
Spacety is developing a next-generation light, small SAR satellite with a target mass below 170 kg and target resolution better than 0.5 m.
ThrustMe is preparing to conduct an in-orbit demonstration of an iodine electric propulsion system on a 12-unit Spacety cubesat launched 2020-11-06 at 10:19 Eastern time on a Chinese Long March 6 rocket.
ThrustMe previously tested critical technologies for iodine storage, delivery, and sublimation on Spacety’s Xiaoxiang 1-08 satellite as part of an in-orbit demonstration of its I2T5 iodine cold gas thruster.
