On July 26th, Chinese remote sensing data analytics company Piesat signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Galaxy Space, a fellow Chinese commercial company specializing in satellite manufacturing and downstream services.
The agreement focused on the establishment of a commercial SAR constellation, with Galaxy Space unsurprisingly taking the lead on the manufacturing side (银河航天提供星座建设方案) while Piesat (航天宏图提供应用需求牵引) focused on the data applications. The collaboration agreement also covers the ground segment(transfer remote sensing data to the ground), TT&C, as well as “integrated remote sensing/communications” satellite technology.
