China space program

Oh I'm sorry apparently the Starlink system which has over 10M users in 160 countries and over 10,000 satellites is a failure compared to Qianfan.

10,000 satellites in the best orbits

Plus you are still not grasping that these 5 year satellites are simply squatter satellites grabbing the most optimal orbital flight paths until a larger and heavier version takes their place. Some of those heavier 2,000kg satellite replacements will be launched this week by the way.

right. Let's burn cash like the good old days. Do you now who is the largest SpaceX launch customer? US MILITARY. Wake up and smell the coffee. I already told you, the Chinese constellation don't even operate at the same altitude. Let me teach you a Chinese concept, cabbification (白菜化). China democratizes technology and US monopolizes tech. Look at windows, the same software reccyled with minimal tech improvement and the profit is fleeced from the masses, same with iphone.

Before China, LIDAR, Gene Sequencers were so expensive due to near monopoly by the US. Same with EVs. Now, with CZ-10, Zhuque, you are going to see another cabbage coming. Do you know how cheap the BMW and Mercedes are now in China? Look at AI, a 10x cost reduction, more efficient model using less energy. That's the Chinese way, we just outproduce you. If BYD can enter the states and be able to compete freely, TESLA is dead, same with HUAWEI, they would have killed SAMSUNG, APPLE would be affected but then it is more of a OS cult.

On July 23, a Long March 3B rocket was struck by lightning during liftoff, but the launch mission was not affected. The satellite Tianlian-2 06 launched in this mission has successfully entered its predetermined orbit.

Chinese researchers complete world's first in-orbit test of 400V electrical power system

Technology developed entirely by Chinese specialists was successfully validated aboard the Tianzhou-10 cargo spacecraft

China has achieved another major technological breakthrough in space by successfully conducting the world's first in-orbit test of a 400V electrical power system, an innovative technology expected to supply high-power space missions. The information was reported by the Global Times, a TV BRICS partner.

The project was led by the Institute of Manned Space System Engineering under the China Academy of Space Technology (CAST), with the participation of other research institutes and industry partners.

The new technology addresses a major challenge in space engineering: low-voltage electrical systems are no longer sufficient to meet the growing demand for onboard equipment. As space missions become increasingly advanced, spacecraft require greater power capacity to operate for longer periods, support heavier payloads and function in increasingly extreme environments.

To address these challenges, the institute identified high-voltage, high-power energy control technology as a key area within its technological development programme. Two in-orbit tests confirmed the system's reliability and adaptability in the space environment.

According to the specialists, following the insertion of the Tianzhou-10 spacecraft into orbit, the 400V electrical power system – developed entirely by Chinese institutions – achieved independent control across the entire technological chain and all core components, including power generation, storage, distribution and transmission.

The project team stated that it will continue optimising the system's performance and strengthening China's space power technology capabilities in support of future major missions, including crewed lunar exploration programmes.
