Chinese private aerospace startup Cangyu Space just dropped cosmic news: the world’s first commercial high-orbit satellite program is set to launch in 2026! The ambitious plan includes 13 satellites in geostationary (GEO), medium-Earth (MEO), and inclined-geosynchronous (IGSO) orbits, aiming to create a global space-based info network by 2030. Think real-time data for satellites, drones, IoT devices, and even emergency response systems—24/7 coverage, rain or shine! 🌦️
🌐 Bridging Earth and Orbit
Announced at the 2025 Shenzhen Aerospace Industry Conference, the Cangyu Constellation will act as a ‘cosmic relay team’ for low-Earth orbit tech. Imagine SpaceX’s Starlink meets 5G—but for space! The network promises to boost everything from polar expeditions to oceanic research with seamless connectivity. Plus, Cangyu’s new Innovation Center with Wuhan University will pioneer real-time remote sensing tech. 📡
