XICHANG, March 5 (Xinhua) -- China has successfully sent seven satellites into space from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in southwest China's Sichuan Province Saturday.
Six satellites produced by Beijing-based GalaxySpace and a commercial remote sensing satellite were launched by a Long March-2C carrier rocket at 2:01 p.m. (Beijing Time) and have entered their planned orbit.
The satellites will verify the networking technology and service capability of the low-orbit internet constellation. They will also verify remote sensing technology.
The launch marked the 410th mission of the Long March series carrier rockets.
The flight mission will start the verification and application of communication and remote-sensing integrated technologies for low-orbit satellites.
Remote sensing and communication integration, combined with intelligent ground-data processing systems, effectively accelerate emergency responses.
The ground data processing system was developed independently by Four Squares Technology, a satellite data analysis company.

https://english.news.cn/20220305/423a07a728384c4d92b6110088567506/c.htmlGalaxy Space launched its first satellite, named Yinhe 1, in January 2020 on a small-class Kuaizhou 1A rocket. The company was founded in 2016.
The new Yinhe 2 satellites launched together on a mounting structure inside the Long March 2C rocket’s payload fairing, a wider shroud that China first used on a Long March 2C mission last year. Each Yinhe 2 spacecraft has a communications capacity greater than 40 Gbps, with an average mass of around 419 pounds (190 kilograms), according to Galaxy Space.

Ground teams will run tests on the network, verifying the performance of satellite and ground systems before China deploys a larger satellite internet constellation.
The Yinhe 2 satellites also carry cameras to take photos and videos of Earth’s surface, Galaxy Space said.
China is planning to launch a constellation of up to 13,000 satellites to provide global internet connectivity, according to regulatory filings with the International Telecommunication Union. Technologies proven out by companies like Galaxy Space could make their way into the Chinese mega-constellation, which is analogous to commercial networks like Starlink and OneWeb already well into deployment.

(...)
Each satellite has a mass of 190 kilograms and are capable of data speeds of 40Gbps according to the firm, and are smaller and more capable than the Yinhe-1 satellite launched in 2020.
Notably the satellite could play an important part in the development of China’s plan to establish a national low Earth orbit broadband megaconstellation, overseen by a state-owned enterprise but apparently involving players from the country’s nascent commercial sector.
“These six satellites will form an experimental network integrating communication and remote sensing,” Chang Ming of Galaxy Space told CCTV.
“When the whole experimental network forms, it will be verified in various application scenarios. It will also be the first technical verification for China’s low-orbit broadband satellite constellation.” (...)

Yangwang-1, a small satellite for Chinese commercial space resources company Origin Space, observed aurora australis over the South Pacific on August 29. The satellite has also been observing meteors impact the atmosphere.
