The company is a member of the International Astronautical Federation(IAF), and is one of the earliest teams in China to focus on commercial SAR satellites and have the ability to integration design of the platform and the SAR payload. It is also the first company in China that registers X-band SAR satellite on the book of the International Telecommunication Union(ITU). The company currently has a specialized team, mainly composed of members from the China Academy of Space Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and other companies. It has undertaken multiple initial launch space tasks, including Tiantong-1, Dongfanghong-4 enhanced satellite platform, Dongfanghong-5 satellite platform, Shaonenxing-1, SmartSat satellite series, etc. It has experience in both traditional and new space enterprise satellite design and successful launch, and can provide users with full process solutions including satellite design, manufacturing, frequency application, insurance, launch coordination, etc..

The company's first satellite, Smart Satellite 1A, was successfully launched from Wenchang, Hainan on December 22, 2020, aboard the Long March 8 rocket. On May 10, 2022, the Smart Satellite 3A was launched into orbit aboard the Tianzhou-4 cargo spacecraft. The company will start building a constellation of 12 SAR satellites in 2022 to achieve millimeter level deformation monitoring for hourly revisits at any location around the world. On February 3, 2024, the first SAR satellite,Smart Satellite 2A (JiGaoKeChuang), was launched from the sea near Yangjiang, Guangdong Province by the SmartDrageon- 3 Y3 launch vehicle of China Long March Rocket Co., Ltd..
