By hannover-web.com On October 24, in Beijing, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) hosted a delivery ceremony for the payloads of the Shijian-19 satellite. During the event, the CNSA signed payload delivery certificates with domestic primary user organizations including the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and representatives from Hainan and Anhui provinces, as well as international payload users from Thailand and Pakistan. Additionally, China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) finalized agreements with representatives of domestic commercial payload users.
The Shijian-19 satellite carries a diverse array of payloads, totaling over 20 categories, which include those for staple crops, cash crops, microbial space breeding, and space technology experiments. The satellite effectively leverages the advantages of the new generation of returnable space experiment platforms, known for their short breeding cycles and high payload efficiency. It successfully completed nearly a thousand space breeding experiments involving germplasm resources, providing crucial technical support for the innovation of China’s germplasm resources. Furthermore, it offered valuable in-orbit validation opportunities for domestically produced components and raw materials, reinforcing the foundation for China’s autonomous innovation and sustainable development in aerospace technology.
The delivery of the Shijian-19 satellite payloads marks the successful completion of the satellite engineering return mission.
