China Tests Reusable Spacecraft from Jiuquan, Signalling Push for Lower‑cost, Rapid‑response Space Capabilities
China launched a reusable experimental spacecraft on February 7 from Jiuquan atop a Long March‑2F rocket to carry out technology verification tests. The mission advances Beijing's push for lower‑cost, higher‑cadence access to space and carries both civilian and strategic implications.
Chinese Team Demonstrates 2D Semiconductor Radio in Space, Claims Leap in Satellite Lifetimes
Fudan University researchers have flown a 2D semiconductor RF communications system on the Fudan-1 satellite and published results in Nature claiming dramatic reductions in power and mass and a theoretical device lifetime of 271 years. While the demonstration is an important milestone for radiation-hardened electronics, practical satellite lifetimes remain constrained by other subsystems and will require broader validation before reshaping industry norms.
