Henan’s First Satellite Launched to Digitalize and Intelligentize Agricultural Production in Huang-Huai-Hai Region

河南省首颗卫星成功发射 助力黄淮海地区农业数字化智能化

“One rocket for nine satellites”, the Long March-4B carrier rocket carrying 9 satellites blasted off at 11:22 a.m. on December 20 from Taiyuan Satellite Center in China. Among them, “GZH-HNJ Zhongyuan Jinshui No.1” (Future-1R) Satellite was from Henan province. So far, all the satellites have successfully entered the preset orbit.

“一箭九星”，12月20日11时22分，中国在太原卫星发射中心用长征四号乙运载火箭成功发射了9颗卫星，目前卫星已成功进入预定轨道，其中“国智恒好年景中原金水一号（未来号-1R）”卫星来自河南。

This satellite, the first of its kind in Henan province, is designed for agricultural research, which will provide remote sensing service for accurate crop data census in Huang-Huai-Hai region and facilitate the modernization, digitalization and intelligentization of agricultural production.

据悉，这颗卫星是河南首颗卫星，专门用于农业研究，将为黄淮海地区提供精准的农作物数据普查遥感服务，助力农业现代化、数字化和智能化进程。

In addition, the satellite will deeply promote the integration of Henan’s agricultural production with the latest information technology industries, such as 5G communications, Internet of Things, blockchain and remote sensing technology, and fully advance the application of remote sensing satellite technology to agricultural resource survey, crop monitoring, disaster monitoring and food safety tracing, making contributions to the modernization, digitalization and intelligentization of the agricultural production in Henan province and even in the whole nation.

该卫星的成功发射，将推动河南农业与5G通信、物联网、区块链、遥感技术等新一代信息技术产业相互融合，全面推进遥感卫星技术在农业资源调查、农作物监测、灾害监测及食品安全溯源等领域的智慧应用，为推进河南乃至全国农业现代化、数字化与智能化贡献力量。（记者徐建勋 编译赵汉青 审校白玉杰）
