CHINA-BROADBAND COMMUNICATION TEST CONSTELLATION-LOW-EARTH ORBIT-OPEN SEA TESTING (CN)

(230617) -- HAIKOU, June 17, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This aerial photo taken on June 15, 2023 shows the internet terminal of low-Earth orbit satellites onboard the "Dian Ke No.1" comprehensive test ship. Researchers from the GalaxySpace, a Beijing-based satellite maker, and several scientific research institutions, conducted an open-sea testing of the country's first low-Earth orbit broadband communication test constellation in the South China Sea. The testing aims to verify the collaborative communication coverage ability of high-Earth orbit and low-Earth orbit satellites, and unmanned aerial vehicles. In March 2022, six satellites produced by GalaxySpace were sent into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. The six satellites in orbit, together with the first broadband communication satellite developed by GalaxySpace and deployed in low-Earth orbit, have formed China's first low-Earth orbit broadband communication test constellation.
