MOHE, Jan. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Mohe Station of the China Remote Sensing Satellite Ground Station is China's northernmost satellite data receiving station. Normally the facility has only one staff member on duty, but as the Spring Festival approaches, four of its staff members have gathered in severe cold weather to conduct thorough winter inspections and maintenance.
Developed by the Aerospace Information Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Mohe Station commenced operations on Dec. 12, 2025.
Located in Mohe, China's northernmost city in Heilongjiang Province, the station is designed to autonomously receive satellite data. It is now tasked with receiving data from 25 national land observation satellites, the institute said.
The Mohe station boasts a maximum channel downlink data rate of 2 gigabits per second and can transmit the received data in real time. Leveraging its high-latitude geographical advantage, the station can extend the daily receiving time window for polar-orbiting satellites by over 20 percent.
