Six-day exhibition of satellite payload items at HK Space Museum from tomorrow

The Security Bureau (SB), together with the disciplined services and auxiliary forces under it, will hold a six-day exhibition at the Hong Kong Space Museum foyer starting tomorrow (November 6).

The exhibition will showcase the cultural and creative items which were carefully selected to be carried by the country's Shijian-19 satellite during its recent space mission, with a view to enhancing the sense of national pride among members of the public and deepening their understanding of the disciplined and auxiliary services.

The Secretary for Security, Mr. Tang Ping-keung, earlier officiated at the unboxing ceremony held at the Central Government Offices, during which he presented the items and space payload certificates to the heads of the respective services.

Mr. Tang said it was an honor to be invited to participate in the national space program involving the country's first reusable and returnable test satellite, which successfully accomplished its return mission. This marks a significant breakthrough in key technologies in aerospace, demonstrating the nation's remarkable progress in the area of space exploration. The payloads also symbolized the spirit of the disciplined services in embracing the pursuit of dreams and innovation while dedicating themselves to safeguarding Hong Kong.
