New satellite images offer fresh view at Macao

Changguang Satellite Technology Co, based in Changchun, Jilin province, issued a group of images of Macao taken by the satellite Jilin-1 on Monday.

The famous landmark constructions, including the Wynn Palace, the A-Ma Temple, Ruins of St. Paul's and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge are all clearly visible.

The images are published to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Macao's return to the motherland, providing a new look of Macao via the view of Jilin-1.

The Jilin-1 satellite family, developed by Changguang, is China's first homegrown commercial remote-sensing satellite constellation featuring high-definition images. It helps with forest fire warnings, desertification, offshore rescue, ocean protection and other remote-sensing information services.

Since the first Jilin-1 satellite was launched into the space in October 2015, 15 satellites in the Jilin-1 family have been sent into orbit.
