Xiaoxiang 1 [CGTRI]
Xiaoxiang 1 (XX 1), also known as TY 1 (Tianyi 1), is a prototype commercial research nanosatellite developed by Spacety Aerospace Co. at the Changsha Gaoxinqu Tianyi Research Institute, Hunan.
The 8 kg satellite is built to the 6U CubeSat form factor. The payload consists of a stabilization system to provide precise, stabilzed camera pointing. It serves as a pathfinder for a small constellation of commercial research satellites (TY 2-5).
Xiaoxiang 1 was launched as a piggy-back payload on the second flight of the CZ-11 rocket.
