At 18:21 on 4th August, at Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site, a Long March 12 carrier rocket successfully launched the satellite Internet low-orbit 07 satellites, and the satellites successfully entered the designated orbit. The group of satellites launched this time were all developed by Galaxy Space. This is the first time that a private commercial aerospace company has developed such satellites in batches.

It is worth noting that the group of satellites were all delivered by Galaxy Space Nantong Satellite Smart Factory. The satellite production lines in the factory have implemented a lot of equipment such as intelligent assembly robots, as well as advanced software platforms such as digital manufacturing systems and automatic comprehensive testing systems. They are implementing mass production satellites like mass production cars. More than 100 satellites above 1,000 kg can be produced per year.

Galaxy Space has successfully launched in total more than 30 satellites independently researched, developed and manufactured by the company.

“南通造”卫星成功发射

    8月4日18时21分，海南商业航天发射场，长征十二号运载火箭成功将卫星互联网低轨07组卫星发射升空，卫星顺利进入预定轨道。本次发射的这组卫星，均由银河航天承担研制，这是民营商业航天公司首次批量研制此类卫星。

    值得关注的是，本组卫星均由银河航天南通卫星智慧工厂出厂，工厂内的卫星生产线大量应用了智能装配机器人等装备，以及数字化制造系统、自动综合测试系统等先进软件平台，正在实现像批产汽车一样批产卫星，可以实现年产百颗以上的1000kg级卫星。

    银河航天已累计成功发射自主研制的卫星三十余颗。
