China's Diting constellation to capture Earth's radio-frequency data

China is developing the Diting constellation, a new commercial satellite network focused on capturing radio-frequency (RF) data. This initiative represents a shift from traditional optical remote sensing to a more advanced method of observing the Earth. The Diting constellation is slated for launch in August 2026, aiming to provide unique insights through RF data collection. AI
