On August 25 at 11:21 AM, the Long March 6C Yao-1 carrier rocket soared into the skies from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, successfully deploying seven satellites—including CAS Satellite 14, Muduo 1A, and Muduo 1B—into their designated orbits. Among these, the Muduo 1A and Muduo 1B satellites stand out for their innovative dual-satellite collaboration system, aptly named "A Guides, B Inspects." The 1A satellite takes charge of wide-area surveys, swiftly scanning vast expanses to detect any surface anomalies. Meanwhile, the 1B satellite zooms in on these anomalies, conducting precise inspections and offering detailed analysis. This seamless coordination between the twin satellites results in an observational efficiency that far exceeds the sum of its parts, embodying the principle of "1+1>2." This breakthrough effectively tackles the industry's longstanding challenge of striking a balance between extensive surveys and high-precision, detailed observations, thereby revolutionizing the technological framework of Earth observation.
