On Saturday, Dec 20, 2025, China launched a new communication technology test satellite from Hainan's Wenchang Space Launch Site aboard a Long March-5 rocket 🚀
Lift-off happened at 8:30 p.m., and the satellite has successfully entered its planned orbit. This mission will test advanced data transmission methods to boost speed and security for future networks across Asia 🌐📡
Why it matters: faster internet for binge-watching K-dramas without buffering, reliable video calls with friends abroad, and better connectivity for IoT devices—from smart homes in Singapore to remote clinics in the Himalayas 🤩
Stay tuned as we track this satellite's experiments and share updates on its journey.
