Hainan-1 01 [Sanya Institute]
The Hainan-1 small earth observation satellites are part of Sanya Institute of Remote Sensing 's constellation of small earth observation satellites focused at the tropical province Hainan.
The satellite features a wide-angle camera and will be responsible for identifying and monitoring mobile objects on the sea, especially ships. Also an AIS receiver to track ships is on board.
In the coming years, the institute plans to launch two more Hainan-1 satellites, two more high spectral resolution satellites called Sanya-1 and two synthetic aperture radar satellites called Sansha-1.
The Hainan-1 satellites were originally planned to be launched on a Jielong-1 rocket, but due to mass issues they were switched to a ride-share launch on a CZ-8 (2).
