When it comes to artificial satellites, I believe that many people will think of many advanced and complex technologies. They always feel that this kind of thing that is often heard but not used by themselves is very far away from them. But now there is news that a company selling artificial satellites for civilian use appeared on Taobao, a well-known Chinese e-commerce company, with a maximum price of 30 million yuan. In fact, before this, Luo Yonghao, a Chinese delivery expert, had sold the company’s artificial satellite in the live broadcast room, and finally sold it at a price of RMB 1 million (equivalent to about NT$4.35 million).

According to Chinese media reports, the company that sells artificial satellites on Taobao is “China Aerospace Shangxin”. After investigation, it was found that the company behind it is “Beijing Space Shangxin Culture Communication Co., Ltd.”. It is understood that the civil artificial satellites sold by the company are not produced by itself, but to assist China’s first commercial satellite brand “Nine Sky MSI” in the sale of satellites.

Among the satellite-related products listed on Taobao, there are mainly two types: “Space Selfie Payload Service” and “Space Shuttle Series-200KG Satellite Deposit”. Among them, the “Space Selfie Payload Service” focuses on taking selfies in space. After uploading your products, photos, and LOGO to the satellite, you can take a photo of the product and the earth through the selfie function of the satellite. The cost is RMB 2 million . The report also pointed out that the movie “The Wandering Earth” once purchased this service to promote the movie.

Next, “Space Shuttle Series-200KG Satellite Deposit”, as the name suggests, is the deposit. The price of this artificial satellite is RMB 30 million (equivalent to about NT$130 million). This artificial satellite has multiple uses, including remote sensing, communication, Navigation, scientific exploration and other functions are mainly launched for scientific research units and schools. It is worth mentioning that the cost of RMB 30 million does not include the service of sending satellites into space.

As for why he thought of selling satellites on Taobao, the chairman of Jiutian MSI said in a previous interview that the main purpose is to “let the public know and understand the use of satellites.” The chairman also said, Many people think that satellites are very high-end, but in fact, this thing is not mysterious at all. Satellites are used in navigation and weather forecasting in daily life.

In fact, this company also tried to follow the trend before, pushing the product to the most popular online live broadcast, and Luo Yonghao, a well-known Internet celebrity, was responsible for the sales. It is understood that the live broadcast of selling satellites ended successfully on March 31. Among them, the “1U CubeSat” with an asking price of 2 million yuan was sold at a price of 1 million yuan in the live broadcast room.
