The Jilin 1 satellite has helped launch the Jilin province's advanced manufacturing drive, as well as providing precise data for firefighting and environmental protection. The first commercial remote sensing satellite of the Jilin series was launched in October 2015. Since then, 13 more satellites have been put into orbit.
The technological improvements of the Jilin 1 are representative of the province's innovation-driven growth strategy in recent years as it moves away from its old industrial base.

Chinese scientists have conducted experiments on pulsar navigation with Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) "Insight". The positioning accuracy in the experiments reached 10 km, further verifying the feasibility of autonomous navigation of spacecraft by using pulsars, which lays a foundation for future practical application in deep-space exploration.
These findings were published on 21 August in The Astrophysical Journal - Supplement Series.
