China’s Answer to Starlink Takes Off
China successfully launched 10 satellites into orbit on a Long March 5B rocket earlier this month, marking the first step in building its Guowang broadband megaconstellation. These satellites are part of a plan to create a network of nearly 13,000 spacecraft in low Earth orbit, similar to SpaceX's Starlink. With this launch, China moves closer to competing in the global satellite internet race, aiming to revolutionize connectivity worldwide.
