PolyU - Department of Land Surveying and Geospatial Science

🚀 Taking Geospatial Science Beyond Earth! 🌕🔴

Ever wondered how spacecraft land safely on the uncharted terrains of the Moon and Mars? The answer lies in the cutting-edge expertise of PolyU’s Department of Land Surveying and Geospatial Science (LSGS)!

Led by Prof. WU Bo, our LSGS researchers are proving that land surveying and geospatial science aren't just for Earth—they are essential for deep space exploration.

By pushing the boundaries of planetary remote sensing, the LSGS team has developed an advanced 3D mapping model combined with AI technology to generate ultra-high-resolution topographic maps. This technology overcomes extreme space conditions—like the thin Martian atmosphere and harsh lighting at the lunar south pole—to find the absolute safest landing spots for spacecraft.

🌟 LSGS Making History in Space:
This groundbreaking LSGS-driven innovation has directly supported the Nation's historic space missions, including Chang’e-3 (嫦娥三號), Chang’e-4, Chang’e-5, and the Tianwen-1 (天問一號) Mars mission!

During the Chang’e-4 mission, the 3D mapping technologies pioneered by LSGS identified rough terrain and helped adjust the descent orbit, making the world’s first-ever successful landing on the far side of the Moon possible! 🛰️ It also safely guided the Zhurong rover (祝融號) to the surface of Mars.

Recognized by the China National Space Administration and the China Academy of Space Technology, our Department of Land Surveying and Geospatial Science is incredibly proud to continue guiding the journey to the stars. ✨

PolyU has steadily risen to 50th place globally in the latest QS World University Rankings 2027, marking a record-high position for the University. The milestone reflects strong international recognition of PolyU’s academic excellence, research and innovation capabilities, and overall institutional strength, further elevating its standing in the global higher education landscape.

“PolyU has progressed in a consistent and steady manner in accordance with its development blueprint, moving forward pragmatically and purposefully. Today, the University has successfully joined the ranks of the world’s top 50 universities, reaching an important milestone in its development journey. From a long-term development perspective, Hong Kong is formulating its first Five-Year Plan, and we hope that the Northern Metropolis University Town will provide PolyU with sufficient land and development space, laying a stronger foundation and creating more favourable conditions for the University’s future expansion,” said Dr LAM Tai-fai, PolyU Council Chairman.

“Looking ahead, PolyU will further integrate into and serve the Nation’s overall development strategy, fully leveraging the University’s unique strengths. With the integrated development of education, technology and talents as our core focus, and building on our existing network of translational research institutes across 12 cities in the Chinese Mainland, we will respond to local industrial and societal needs and deepen industry-academia-research collaboration, thereby making greater contributions to national development, high-quality growth and the building of the Nation into a global science and technology powerhouse,” said Prof. Jin-Guang TENG, President of PolyU.
