Xian University of Technology achieves the first in-orbit validation of flexible sensing system for spacecraft.

According to an announcement from Xi'an, at 19:39 on September 5, 2025 Beijing time, China successfully launched the Gujin Star I carrier rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, placing the "Real-time Monitoring System for Satellite Key Folding Parts Status based on Flexible Sensors" into its designated orbit. The launch mission was a complete success. The system was jointly developed by Professor Yang Haitao, the Director of the National Key Laboratory of Flexible Electronics, and his team at the Flexible Electronics Research Institute of Northwestern Polytechnical University, along with Professor Yue Xiaokui and Associate Researcher Sun Chong from the School of Aerospace Engineering of Northwestern Polytechnical University. This marks the first successful on-orbit application of flexible electronic sensing technology in monitoring the status of key components of spacecraft in China. The flexible real-time monitoring system is currently operating stably and has begun transmitting on-orbit data, while the research team continues with continuous monitoring and in-depth analysis.
