On Friday, teams at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi Province in the north of the Chinese mainland successfully launched a new group of low Earth orbit satellites. This marks the fourth batch in an ambitious internet constellation designed to deliver high-speed connectivity around the globe.
A modified Long March-6 carrier rocket carried the satellites into orbit, where they will soon join their predecessors to create a robust network. Once complete, the constellation aims to bridge digital divides in remote regions, support data-heavy applications, and ensure reliable service for mobile users.
For entrepreneurs, digital nomads, and tech innovators, this expansion signals fresh opportunities. Space-based internet can power smart agriculture, real-time monitoring, and immersive experiences, reshaping industries and daily life. As the network grows, it underscores the Chinese mainland’s drive to lead in space-driven communications and highlights the global push for accessible connectivity.
With each launch, the project moves closer to its goal: a seamless web of coverage enabling people everywhere to stay connected, collaborate, and explore new frontiers—both on Earth and beyond.
