At 13:15 on January 23, 2025 Beijing time, China successfully launched the Ganfan Polar Orbit 06 group of satellites into orbit using the Long March 6 modified carrier rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. The satellites entered the predetermined orbit smoothly and the launch mission was a complete success. The Ganfan Polar Orbit 06 satellite continues to use 18 PST4S-H1 skin type star sensors from TY-SPACE.
PST4S-H1
High precision star tracker
Following the development trend of the “star era” in commercial aerospace, TY-SPACE has taken the lead in achieving mass production of star sensors in China. Automated batch production has been achieved for board level screening, electronic testing, whole machine thermal cycling, thermal vacuum vibration, and field observation of stars. All test reports and results are automatically output, and the remote monitoring process is clear and more efficient. The annual output can reach 2000 sets, which can meet the batch requirements of satellite factories for high-performance, high reliability, high output, and high delivery speed of star sensor products. As of now, more than 550 units of TY-SPACE star tracker products have been successfully operated in orbit!
