Vast’s Haven-1 commercial space station connecting via laser terminals to SpaceX Starlink satellite network. China is working to copy Elon Musk’s Starlink system of small satellites that enable easy access to the internet from remote locations.
“It used to take two to three months to design and customize a satellite,” Cao Jin, the general manager of Genesat, told the newsletter. “Now the factory can churn out a satellite every one and a half days and produce up to 300 a year.” China views Starlink as a threat to its ability to control information for its domestic audience. The internet in China is tightly monitored and controlled by what analysts say is the world’s most sophisticated censorship technology. A Starlink connection would give Chinese netizens free access to the internet and circumvent what critics call the government’s “Great Firewall.”
Still another company, the rocket company Shanghai Landspace Hongqing Technology, announced plans for deploying 10,000 Honghu-3 satellites.
