About the Initiative
Share Space Resources | Practice Open Science

In response to UNESCO's International Decade of Sciences for Sustainable Development (2024-2033), co-initiated by Zhejiang Lab, Xiong'an Science Park, and Hong Qing Technology, Olive Leaf Initiative serves as a global open call inviting scientists, youth, and innovators to propose scientific payloads and AI applications in space.

We plan to launch 1 to 2 experimental satellites annually, which offer open integration and validation services. Olive Leaf Initiative is under an overall purpose to promote sharing of data, lowering the barriers to in-orbit scientific research, and advancing science and technology for human benefit.
