China launches 3D satellite network with international partners to monitor sun and space

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

China has initiated an international project to establish a 3D satellite network between Earth and the Moon. This network, comprising 30 backpack-sized CubeSats in Earth orbit and additional satellites around the Moon, aims to monitor solar activity and cosmic explosions. The Deep Space Exploration Laboratory will lead the initiative, which includes partners from Egypt, Indonesia, Senegal, Serbia, and Thailand, and is intended to fill observational gaps in cislunar space.
