Two Dalian-1 12U remote-sensing cubesats hitched a ride with the Tianzhou-6 spacecraft. They are developed by Dalian university for the province of Liaoning. Each cubesat weighs 17kg, and they will be used to verify various technologies that include new hyperspectral imaging cameras, the use of OpenHarmony OS for space applications, a domestically developed processor for space applications, a compact propulsion system using hydroxylamine nitrate propellant, an new ultra-light multiple-satellite deployer (UMSD) etc. The satellites are mounted on the UMSD attached to the outside of the Tianzhou-6 spacecraft and will be released in the coming days.
