Core Viewpoint - The successful launch of "Zhejiang No. 1," China's first hyperspectral remote sensing satellite for the geological industry, marks a significant advancement in the country's autonomous remote sensing capabilities in resource exploration, mineral monitoring, and geological environmental surveys [1][3]. Group 1: Satellite Development and Capabilities - "Zhejiang No. 1" was developed collaboratively by multiple institutions, including Zhejiang Provincial Geological Institute and China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) [3]. - The satellite enhances China's capabilities in geological environment hyperspectral remote sensing, achieving breakthroughs in miniaturization, intelligence, and specialization [3]. - It employs advanced technologies to penetrate the surface and identify subtle spectral features of rocks, minerals, and vegetation, significantly improving emergency response speed and data timeliness in complex geological environments [3][4]. Group 2: Operational Efficiency and Impact - The satellite's compact size allows for rapid networking, with a revisit cycle of 2.5 days, enabling comprehensive scans of Zhejiang's surface approximately every 20 days, resulting in nearly 100 surface assessments per year [3]. - The launch supports the new round of mineral exploration strategies, ecological civilization construction, and addresses challenges in complex terrain and traditional geological survey limitations [4]. - "Zhejiang No. 1" will provide strong technological support for discovering important mineral areas, urban geological intelligent perception, disaster prevention and reduction, and ecological civilization initiatives in Zhejiang Province [4].

王力哲教授表示，"地质一号"卫星的最大特点在于地质行业高光谱谱段集中精细化设计，有效解决了传统高光谱载荷系统体积大、重 量大、能效利用低和部分谱段成像稳定性较弱等难题。目前，全球能够捕捉1000纳米以上的在轨高光谱遥感卫星不超过10个，其大多高光 谱卫星均采用光栅分光实现众多不同谱段获取，难以保证成像质量。"地质一号"在多项技术指标达到国际领先水平，有效提升了成像质 量。 5月17日讯5月17日12时12分，随着烈焰划破长空，主要用来找矿的"地质一号"卫星在酒泉卫星发射中心成功发射。 据悉，该卫星是我国第一颗服务地质行业的高光谱遥感小卫星，将极大提升我国在资源勘查、矿产监测和自然资源调查监测等领域的 服务能力，该卫星在地质勘查和监测卫星的"小型化、智能化、专业化"取得重大突破。 "地质一号"卫星是我国首颗地质行业小卫星，由中国地质大学（武汉）与中国自然资源航空物探遥感中心牵头，联合天仪研究院、中 国科学院长春光学精密机械与物理研究所、浙江省地质院等单位共同研制，中国地质大学（武汉）王力哲教授担任工程总师。 据介绍，"地质一号"卫星拥有强大的遥感探测能力，在可见-近红外波长范围内，主要针对水、土、矿、植被等进行 ...
