In the future, the satellite will also customize filming missions for Bilibili users, using the satellite to take aerial photos of the Earth.[5][6]

The satellite weighs about 172 kg and is equipped with two high-performance payload cameras. It obtains color video images with resolutions better than 1.2m and covers an area of 14.4km×6km.[7]
History
On May 11, 2020, the satellite was transported to Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.[8]
In June 2020, Bilibili announced that the satellite would be launched in late June and said it was "a Children's Day gift".[9][10] However, the plan was put off.[11]
On July 10, 2020, the satellite was launched from the center. But the rocket flew abnormally and failed to launch. Bilibili said that the satellite launch program would not stop.[12]
