Following the successful deployment of the “HKUST-FYBB#1” satellite, it can form a constellation with the existing satellites of the University’s collaboration partner Chang Guang, providing the latest real-time imagery and remote sensing data not only of Hong Kong but also the globe.  The research team led by Professor SU Hui, who joined the University last year through the Global STEM Professorship Scheme, and Professor ZHANG Limin, Head and Chair Professor of HKUST's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering will utilize the imagery and data for analysis and application in various fields such as disaster management, smart city development, and sustainable resource management.  Looking ahead, the team will also collaborate with Chang Guang to develop key satellite technologies with carbon emission detection and monitoring capabilities, contributing to disaster management, environmental monitoring, and carbon neutrality efforts in Hong Kong, the nation, and the world.
