As the first university in China to independently develop andsuccessfully launch a satellite, and the first institution in theworld to send a satellite into lunar orbit, the university has becomea new base for innovative research and development of spacecraft thataligns with international standards. To date, the university hasindependently developed and successfully launched 35 satellites,including those for remote sensing, navigation, communication,technical testing, and lunar exploration.
On September 6, 2022, the S4 experimental satellite of Weili Space's low-orbit satellitenavigation enhancement system was successfully launched. It is thefirst navigation satellite of the university, marking a new breakthrough in the field of navigation satellites for small satellite research at the Harbin Institute of Technology. | On June 9,2023, the Longjiang-3 satellite was successfully launched. It is China's first newflat-panel low-orbit broadband communication satellite, which hasmade breakthroughs in key technologies such as regenerativelow-orbit satellite-to-ground high-speed communication andflat-panel satellite platform, providing technical support forChina's satellite internet construction. |
On March20, 2024, the Tiandu-2satellite was successfully launched. It is the second lunar orbitsatellite developed by the university after Longjiang-2,which will provide preliminary technical verification for theestablishment of the Earth-Moon 'Queqiao network'. |
HIT has successfully developed nearly 30 kinds of nationalmetrological standard devices and large-scale ultra-precisionmeasuring instruments and equipment, forming a systematicultra-precision measuring system, whose precision level is at theinternational cuttingedge.
