HKUST Releases First Batch of Hong Kong Images Captured by "MUSICO" in Celebration of 77th Anniversary of Founding of the People's Republic of China (Chinese Version Only)
香港科技大學（科大）今天發布由「天韻相機」（MUSICO）拍攝的首批香港遙感影像，展示香港科研團隊參與國家航天工程的重要成果，並以此慶祝中華人民共和國成立七十七周年。
「天韻相機」是由科大牽頭研製的全球首款輕小型、高解析度、高精度二氧化碳與甲烷點源協同探測儀。目前，該儀器已於天宮太空站持續執行在軌科學任務超過三個月，其間順利完成了多項系統測試、校準及定標工作。今次發布的香港影像及影片，分別由儀器配備的二氧化碳、甲烷、氧氣及氣溶膠四個探測儀取得，清晰呈現香港及周邊地區的地貌特徵。即使太空站以每秒約7.7公里的高速圍繞地球運行，「天韻相機」仍能穩定獲取高質量、百米解析度的遙感數據，充分驗證了儀器卓越的成像能力。團隊已完成主要在軌測試及精度校準，正式進入常規科學運行階段。
科大土木及環境工程學系系主任兼講座教授張利民教授表示：「在國慶日前夕，發布由『天韻相機』拍攝的首批香港影像別具意義，亦是獻給祖國和香港的一份特別禮物。這不僅標誌着香港自主研發的科研載荷成功在天宮太空站開展科學任務，更展現香港科研力量積極融入國家航天事業發展。能夠從太空俯瞰香港的面貌並測量溫室氣體濃度，我們深感榮幸，也更加體會到科研工作服務國家發展和社會需要的重要意義。」
科大土木及環境工程學系講座教授蘇慧教授表示：「自黎家盈博士和隊友成功為『天韻相機』完成安裝並啟動該儀器以來，我們持續進行儀器定標、校準、及數據分析工作。過去數月，儀器已獲取全球超過450個目標地區的影像，數據總量達4.3 TB。由於香港及華南地區夏季多雲多雨，要捕捉高質量影像並不容易。適逢國慶前夕天氣條件理想，讓我們得以透過『天韻相機』俯瞰香港。當首批清晰的香港影像從天宮太空站傳回地面時，整個研究團隊都感到無比振奮。天韻相機作為香港自主研發的科研載荷，正如『太空之眼』，守護着我們的家園，為國家乃至全球的氣候治理貢獻香港力量。」
科大新興跨學科領域學部副教授翟成興教授表示：「取得影像只是第一步，更重要的是從中提取定量的溫室氣體濃度分布信息。我們正基於收集到的數據開展處理、分析、校正及反演工作，並將與國家及國際科研機構合作，驗證二氧化碳和甲烷濃度的反演精度。目前儀器每天持續回傳觀測數據，本次發布的影像為處理後的一級數據。團隊正進一步優化相關算法，未來將逐步發布更多觀測成果，為全球溫室氣體監測和氣候變化研究提供有力支持。」
「天韻相機」項目由蘇慧教授、張利民教授及翟成興教授共同帶領。自儀器進駐天宮太空站以來，團隊持續與中國科學院長春光學精密機械與物理研究所，以及中國科學院空間應用工程與技術中心緊密合作，全力推進在軌運行、儀器定標及數據處理工作。
