China successfully launched another batch of satellites for its Guowang national broadband network, part of a planned 13,000-satellite megaconstellation. This was the eighth launch for Guowang and the fourth in under three weeks, showcasing China's accelerated pace in building its satellite internet infrastructure. Each launch carries a smaller number of larger satellites compared to SpaceX's Starlink. China is also developing a second large satellite constellation, Qianfan.
