Liftoff of KF-03! https://t.co/KW9PQm1tVj ...

Great work by the @SpaceX teamSpaceX (@SpaceX):Splashdown confirmed! Congratulations to the entire SpaceX team on an exciting eleventh flight test of Starship! https://t.co/llcIvNZFfg ...

Core Insights - China's satellite communication industry is rapidly evolving, with Shanghai Yuanxin, known as the Chinese version of Starlink, initiating a new financing round of 5-6 billion RMB, with a pre-investment valuation exceeding 40 billion RMB [2] - The company aims to launch a total of 15,000 satellites by 2030, with a current goal of 108 satellites by the end of this year and 324 by mid-next year [2][5] - The global satellite communication market is becoming increasingly competitive, with strict regulations on satellite frequency and orbital resource allocation [3] Financing and Investment - Shanghai Yuanxin completed a record 6.7 billion RMB in Series A financing in February 2024, marking the largest single round of funding in China's satellite industry to date [2] - The company is currently seeking additional funding to support its ambitious satellite launch plans [2] Market Dynamics - The satellite communication sector is experiencing a shift as global investments in 5G decline, prompting companies to pivot towards satellite communication and 6G technologies [5] - The average cost of manufacturing a satellite is approximately 15 million RMB, indicating a substantial market potential of nearly 1 trillion RMB driven by major satellite constellations [5] Competitive Landscape - SpaceX's Starlink has a significant lead, having launched 8,926 satellites by August 2025, with plans to reach 12,000 by the end of this year [3] - Chinese companies, including China Star Network and Shanghai Yuanxin, are ramping up their satellite launches, with recent reports of multiple launches within a short timeframe [3] Supply Chain and Technological Development - The supply chain for satellite manufacturing and launching is becoming increasingly active, with companies like Tianbing Technology and Beijing Xinghe Power completing significant financing rounds to enhance their capabilities [7] - Companies are developing technologies for direct satellite communication with mobile devices and vehicles, indicating a focus on innovative applications in the satellite communication space [6] Future Prospects - The satellite communication market is projected to grow significantly, with estimates suggesting that 3 billion people globally remain unconnected, presenting a vast opportunity for satellite solutions [8] - Shanghai Yuanxin plans to expand its services to various countries, potentially securing orders worth 5 billion RMB once a sufficient number of satellites are operational [8]

shipping is the ship is making its turn for final approach. And here's this kind of aggressive final turn that would essentially position it so it's right behind the launching catch tower. Flap's holding strong.Landing burn in just under 20 seconds. [Music] Shift landing start up. [Applause] There's our landing burn.Three down to two. Starship is landed. ...

北京时间10月14日，马斯克旗下SpaceX进行星舰第十一次综合飞行测试（以下简称"十一飞"），其中超重型助推器目前顺利完成着陆燃烧阶段 的各项配置和动力测试，之后关机坠海。截至发稿，飞船的测试任务仍在进行中。 本次飞行的星舰组合体由S38飞船和B15.2超重型二手助推器（八飞B15助推器）构成，也是第二代星舰的最后一次飞行测试。 星舰"十一飞"使用的B15.2超重型助推器，是此前八飞助推器的复用，33台V2版猛禽发动机中的24台属于重复使用，这也是降本的关键点。助 推器的核心目标是验证下一代星舰助推器着陆燃烧阶段的配置，尤其是在不同飞行阶段切换时，发动机启停的不同动力数据，包括： ● 着陆燃烧结束后切换为3台中央发动机，并在海平面上进入完全悬停状态，模拟筷子夹火箭过程中的发动机配置，之后关机坠入美国湾（墨 西哥湾），不安排回收 SpaceX解释称，第三代星舰超重型助推器设计的基准配置就是5台发动机，用于微调助推器飞行路径，进而为发动机的关闭提供额外冗余。 ● 着陆燃烧初始阶段点燃13台发动机 ● 转向阶段切换为5台发动机，模拟路径微调机动至发射塔过程中的发动机配置（第二代星舰为3台发动机配置） 星舰亚轨道飞 ...

Vehicle is now at maximum dynamic pressure. All right, that was basically our reverse max Q. So most aerodynamic stress that it's going to see during re-entry, we just passed through it. So we're past that.Over pass peak heating. ...
