申报超20万颗，抢占频轨资源"制高点"。 根据ITU《无线电规则》及第35号决议，新申报星座面临严苛的"启用时限"：第7年必须发射首星，且 在第9、12、14年分别完成10%、50%、100%的部署。面对20万颗的巨量申报，这意味着未来十年中国 航天需实现年均发射数万颗卫星的能力。巨大的履约压力将直接转化为对火箭运力(尤其是蓝箭航天等 大运力可回收火箭)和卫星批产制造能力的迫切需求，行业必须在短期内实现产能的指数级跃升。 此次中国向ITU提交的20.3万颗卫星申报，规模远超此前"GW星座"(约1.3万颗)与"千帆星座"(约1.5万颗) 的总和，标志着中国低轨星座建设从"千星"迈向"十万星"量级的新纪元。其中，CTC-1与CTC-2两个超 大星座合计申报近19.3万颗，成为绝对主力。在近地轨道(LEO)频轨资源日益拥挤的背景下，这种"饱和 式申报"体现了国家级战略意志，旨在通过"占频保轨"为未来6G天地一体化网络预留充足发展空间。 事件：近日，中国向国际电信联盟(ITU)提交了新增20.3万颗的卫星申请，此次申报涵盖14个卫星星 座，其中CTC-1和CTC-2两个星座各自申请96,714颗，成为本轮申报的主力。 ...
