      China will achieve their goal I have no doubts. In my opinion their manufacturing capacity and launchers can be expanded if they are dead set on the target timeline, but I don't see why they need to rush things.
      I think they'll have sent them all up and perhaps even more by the mid 2040's which relatively is not that far.

      It’s pretty clear that SpaceX, like Facebook, Apple, and Alphabet, is likely backed by U.S. intelligence and heavily connected to it. These companies are too powerful not to be influenced. What’s really unsettling about SpaceX is its potential to deploy MOBS-Multiple Orbit Bombardment Systems-which could be nuclear-armed. Recently, the Pentagon accused Russia of putting nukes in space, despite no solid evidence. To me, this feels like projection, since the U.S. tends to accuse others of doing what it’s already doing behind the scenes.

    What do you think about Qianfan and Xingwang (aka Guowang) megaconstellations? 🤔
    China has been talking about broadband constellations for many years (remember Hongyun and Hongyan back in 2016-2017?), but this is the first time a substantial, tangible move has been made toward the deployment of a constellation, and these efforts will likely intensify in the coming years. Curious to hear your thoughts!

    • @blagivanov9587
      @blagivanov9587 3 месяца назад +4

      I think that China taking a less is more approach and merging the two constellations makes sense and cuts the launch requirements by half.
      This also reduces the amount of in orbit satellites and collision mitigation. On that note, reusability is key, but so is better on orbit hygiene and reducing orbital debris. The last Qianfan launch’s second stage left a lot of debris that creates issues for everyone using those orbital planes.

    • @DongfangHour
      @DongfangHour  3 месяца назад +6

      That's a good point. Some speculate that the 2 Chinese megaconstellations could play different roles, thus justifying 2 constellations: a more civil application-based Qianfan (--> Starlink) and a military-oriented Xingwang (--> Starshield).

They never invade other countries, never destroyed any nation or bring wars do violence like other countries have done in past nd still doing, if people’s take out Hatred and jealousy from their hearts for China They will see understand admire and admit for future for whole world growth glory, in technology improvement , growth in space exploration development and research China will be the best candidate, best option I believe if Countries Like China America Japan works together as one in hundred years humanity can achieve develop create what humanity can do in 5hundreds years, but sadly there is not even a little sign of uniting humanity or Nations,,, instead of moving forward Countries are going backwards due to wars for eg Russia ukrain progress has stopped and their country is destroyed so now they have to rebuild it and in same time other countries will leave them hundreds of years behind I don’t know y peoples don’t see that??? Or talks about those facts and ignorance rejects wars and maintain peace with politically everything is avoidable if they really want peace and stability and progress for themselves and their nations… but because of allies power full weapons and strong supporters and ego They are all blinded corrupt to core they are ready to destroy everything they their ancestors build just for ego satisfaction and power but countrys still don’t gets that at the end they are alone all their own no one is going to bring wars and destruction in their home,country for them they can support help but it will be limited there is the point where they will stop cause just being powerfull or high development can’t stop destruction of their nations if war breaks out there will be winner o and loosers but Destruction will be equal, no matter how dangerous weapons some nation have , nomatter how superior technology they have if war breaks out both winners and looser will be destroyed and over night they will go back hundreds of years every single countrys knows it so truly every nation is on their own from certain points..when world and all countries will gets it realise the facts of war power and allies????

They latest update was in 2021, but there is no indication and it is cancelled. Given the demand for it, i would not be suprised to see the project to pick up speed suddenly despite the slow start.

    Reason why there will be many more satellites is likely because the satellites in the future will become smaller and smaller and the payload per satellite gets reduced in mass. Not to mention the iteration of satellites will improve as well. That’s how I see it.

    Another excellent review of present developments in satellite constellations in China. It's an impressive and demanding agenda for the next few years. I would think that China will invest what it needs, to get these projects going, particularly, facing the present geopolitical situation.
    My only regret is, with so many constellations going into near Earth orbit, the night sky will get saturated with moving lights (on clear nights, I can see the Starlink trains of satellites crossing the sky, and I can only imagine what it will look like with more of them).

Every time a satellite incident occurs in China, Western media keeps publicizing that Chinese rockets fall uncontrollably and threaten the ground. In fact, Chinese rockets fall into the ocean and do not harm local residents! News about American rockets falling to the ground is also common, but the United States has never been attacked!

    @douginorlando6260 3 месяца назад

    Before China communication satellite arrays are completed, I bet the satellites will be improved at the cost of much larger weight but drastically increased bandwidths including higher power antennas with tighter antenna lobes that allow closer spaced users to use identical frequency bands without interference, plus improved received signal to noise ratio, improved received signal sensitivity, improved transmitted signal strength. I imagine a satellite with a large antenna array much like phased array radar antennas but unlike current phased array antennas which do not have individual directional antennas for each element, the satellite antenna would be a phased array of directional antennas. This improves antenna lobes by one or two orders of magnitude. Higher altitude satellites allows wider coverage area. Higher performance satellites could provide real time voice communication and higher speed Internet. Signal latency would be somewhat improved for higher altitude satellites if communication now avoided satellite to satellite relays.

      According to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp., the task of the satellite system is to provide all-weather, all-time, stable and reliable mobile communication services to users in China and its surrounding areas, the Middle East, Africa and most parts of the Pacific and Indian oceans.
      China Telecom has used this satellite network system to provide satellite telephone operation services in China. The Huawei Mate60 series smartphones, which released on 2023 August 29, have a built-in satellite phone function based on this satellite network.

  • @douginorlando6260
    @douginorlando6260 3 месяца назад

    It looks like China will need a Starship capability starting in 2028. My guess is this capability comes from a huge reusable 1st stage and an expendable upper stage. They will also need a factory to mass produce rocket engines and a production line for starship boosters and expendable upper stages. This means as soon as a Falcon 9 equivalent performance rocket is achieved, the starship equivalent performance first stage development will hit the ground running (probably the wrong expression to use when talking about rockets)

    • @douginorlando6260
      @douginorlando6260 3 месяца назад

      Ultimately, I expect China will follow a compressed development schedule of SpaceX with continuous improvements that double their Falcon 9 equivalent payloads to current Falcon 9 payloads, while simultaneously developing a starship 1st stage equivalent. Instead of a reusable upper stage (which sacrifices a lot of payload), the starship upper stage will evolve into a reusable 2nd stage with an expendable 3rd stage. This will be an optimal cost per kg payload delivery, because most the hardware will be reused, while 3rd stage is optimized for maximum payload. Considering the higher altitude of the 30,000 communication satellites, a 3rd stage makes more sense.

    • @douginorlando6260
      @douginorlando6260 3 месяца назад

      During the development of their starship, more weight will have to be added for the rocket which cuts into the payload. Eventually, iterative improvements will reduce weight, increase thrust, improve ISP and thereby increase payload. But at first the payload could be disappointingly underweight. As a solution to this temporary problem, the reusable Falcon 9 equivalent 1st stages could be used as strap on boosters for the starship 1st stage.
