Haiyang(HY,Chinese:Hải dương;pinyin:Hǎiyáng;lit.'ocean') is a series of marineremote sensing satellitesdeveloped and operated by the People's Republic of China since 2002. As of October 2022,eight satellites have been launched with ten more planned.[1][2][3][4][5]Built by thestate-ownedaerospace contractorChina Academy of Space Technology(CAST), Haiyang satellites carry a variety of ocean-imaging sensor payloads and are operated by the National Satellite Ocean Application Service (NSOAS), a subordinate agency of theState Oceanic Administration(SOA).[6]Haiyang satellites are launched fromTaiyuan Satellite Launch Center(TSLC) intoSun-synchronous orbit(SSO) aboardLong March-seriesrockets.[6]

China's National Satellite Ocean Application Service owns three series of Haiyang-series satellites, Haiyang-1 (HY-1) are designed to measure ocean color, Haiyang-2 (HY-2) to study maritime environment dynamics, and Haiyang-3 (HY-3) to conduct ocean surveillance.[7]

Spacecraft[edit]

Satellite bus[edit]

The first three of a total four Haiyang 1-series satellites are based on the CAST968minisatellite bus,the same used three years prior for theShijian 5and carry multiplepayloads.First launched aboard aLong March 4Brocket withFengyun-1Din May 2002 into sun-synchronous orbit, the 367kgHY-1A measures 1.2m× 1.1m × 0.94m reaching a total length of 7.5 meters with itssolar panelsextended. These satellites uses threemagnetorquersandliquid hydrazinemonopropellantforattitude controland to conduct on-orbitstation-keeping.The spacecraft maintain attitude to approximately a half-degreeusing aSun sensorand infraredEarth sensor.The spacecraft's imaging, transmission, andthermal heating systemsare powered by two extended solar arrays providing 405Watts(320 by end of life) and two packs ofnickel-cadmiumbatteries that produce 23ampere hoursofDC powerwhen the satellites' solar panels are not exposed to the sun.[8]Launched in June 2020, Haiyang 1D was the only satellite of the HY-1 series to be based on the CAST2000 bus instead of the CAST968 bus.

For telemetry, tracking, and command (TT&C) communication, the HY-1A uses theS-bandwith anuplinkdata-rate of 2kilobits per second(kbps) and adownlinkrate of 4 kbit/s. HY-1A stores up to 80megabitsof gathered payload data from the onboard COCTS and CZI instruments until it establishes communications with theBeijing,Hangzhou,andSanyaground stationto downlink the payload data overX-bandwithquadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) at a rate of 5.32 megabits per second.[8][9]

Sensor payloads[edit]

All four Haiyang 1 satellites (HY-1A through HY-1D) bear two maritime imaging sensors, the Chinese Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (COCTS) and the Coastal Zone Imagery (CZI). Developed by theShanghaiInstitute of Technical Physics (SITP), a subcomponent of theChina Academy of Sciences(CAS), COCTS comprises a focal plane array (FPA), scanner, an electronics box, and a series of optics. The 50 kg sensor system collects 1.1 kmspatial resolutionmaritime imagery within tenbands(eight in visible near infrared, VNIR, and two in thermal infrared, TIR) through a 200mmaperture. COCTS rotates its imager ±35.2º, approximately 1400 km per swath.[8][10]

Chinese Ocean Color and Temperature Scanner (COCTS) Bands
Band IR Spectral range S/N Observation function
1 VNIR 0.402 – 0.422μm 440 Yellow substance,water pollution
2 VNIR 0.433 – 0.453 μm 600 Chlorophyllabsorption
3 VNIR 0.480 – 0.500 μm 590 Chlorophyll,sea ice,pollutants, shallowtopography
4 VNIR 0.510 – 0.530 μm 560 Chlorophyll, water depth, low-concentrationsediment
5 VNIR 0.555 – 0.575 μm 525 Chlorophyll, low-concentration sediment
6 VNIR 0.660 – 0.680 μm 390 Fluorescence, high-concentration sediment,aerosols,pollutants,atmospheric correction
7 VNIR 0.745 – 0.785 μm 400 High-concentration sediments, atmospheric correction
8 VNIR 0.845 – 0.885 μm 415 Atmospheric correction,water vapor
9 TIR 10.30 – 11.40 μm N/A Sea surface temperature(SST), sea ice, cloud top temperature
10 TIR 11.40 – 12.50 μm N/A SST, sea ice, cloud top temperature

Also aboard all four HY-1 satellites is a Coastal Zone Imagery (CZI), developed by the Beijing Institute of Space Mechanics and Electricity (BISME,Chinese:Bắc kinh không gian cơ điện nhất thể hóa nghiên cứu sở) under CAST.[11][12]CZI is a four-bandcharge-coupled device(CCD),pushbroommultispectral imager(MSI). Sometimes referred to as the satellites' four-band CCD imager ", CZI is intended to provide 250 m spatial resolution imagery over coastal regions in 36° (500 km) swaths.[8]These bands are:

  • 0.42 – 0.50 μm to observe pollutants, vegetation growth,ocean color,and sea ice
  • 0.52 – 0.60 μm to observe suspended sediments, pollutants, vegetation, sea ice, and wetlands
  • 0.61 – 0.69 μm to observe suspended sediments, soil, and water vapor
  • 0.76 – 0.89 μm to observe soil and water vapor with atmospheric correction[8]

Due to power issues, the CZI sensor aboard Haiyang-1A lost functionality seventeen months after launch on 1 December 2003.[8]

Haiyang 1C and Haiyang 1D both carried anultravioletimager, abbreviated UVI, providing twice-daily global coverage.[13]Used in conjunction with COCTS and CZI, HY-1C and HY-1D have been used to identifyharmful algae bloomssuch ascyanobacteriainLake Tai,detect marineoil spillsnearIndonesia,and measure nearshoreturbiditywith atmospheric correction.[14][15]HY-1C and HY-1D's UVI images in two ultraviolet bands, 0.345 – 0.365 μm and 0.375 – 0.395 μm, both in theUV-Arange.[13]

Both HY-1C and HY-1D are equipped with a satellite calibration spectrometer (SCS) which provides on-orbit radiometric calibration for COCTS and UVI sensor systems.[13][16]

Haiyang 1C and Haiyang 1D also maintain an automatic identification system (AIS) payload, used to track and identify ship locations, to collect, store, and relay AIS messages globally.[13][15]HY-1C and HY-1D's AIS system simultaneously operates on four bands: 161.975MHz,162.025 MHz, 156.775 MHz, and 156.825 MHz with a swath width of over 950 kilometers.[13]
