In September 2020, my country submitted a spectrum allocation file to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), including two broadband constellation plans named GW-A59 and GW-2. The satellites of the GW-A59 constellation are distributed in extremely low orbits below 500km, and the satellites of the GW-2 constellation are distributed in low-Earth orbits of 1145km. The orbital inclination angles of the two groups of satellites are distributed between 30\u00b0-85\u00b0.<\/p>\n
At 9:33 on October 16, 2025, my country successfully launched 12 sets of satellite Internet low-orbit satellites into space through the Long March 8A carrier rocket at the No. 1 station of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site. So far, my country’s satellite Internet constellation has launched 12 sets of networking satellites, and the number of networking satellites in orbit has reached 98. Satellites that have been launched before are also running smoothly. Let us take a look at the orbits in which these satellites are currently operating and what their inclination angles are.<\/p>\n
