How China is getting ready to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink for satellite internet
China has begun production of its second low-earth satellite megaconstellation in Shanghai, aiming to provide broadband internet services and compete with SpaceX's Starlink. The project, situated within the G60 Starlink industrial base, plans to launch and operate 108 satellites for initial commercial services by 2024. Shanghai Gesi Aerospace Technology, a state-owned entity, expects an annual production capacity of 300 satellites, with a reduced production time of one and a half days. This initiative reflects China's commitment to the space technology industry and its efforts to cultivate the commercial satellite market.
