Low-Earth-orbit satellite internet is equivalent to building a communications network in space, capable of providing reliable communications support for scenarios such as ocean voyages, communications in remote areas, and emergency disaster relief. China is currently focusing on developing two major low-Earth-orbit satellite internet constellations, Guowang and Qianfan, each on the scale of 10,000 satellites.
低轨卫星互联网相当于在太空搭建一张通信网络，能够为远洋航行、偏远区域通信、应急救灾等场景提供可靠的通信保障。目前，我国正重点推进国网、千帆两大万星级低轨卫星互联网星座建设。
Since the beginning of this year, China has completed 80 space launches. Satellite internet network deployment missions account for nearly one-third of them, as the construction of low-Earth-orbit satellite internet constellations accelerates.
