00:00China is on track to set a new record with over 100 space launches this year,
00:05pushing the boundaries of its space ambitions.
00:07To hit this target, the final quarter must deliver at least 31 launches,
00:12making the pace intense.
00:13So far, China has attempted 70 orbital launches,
00:17including the 26th group of Guowang satellites,
00:20which form its National Low Earth Orbit Internet Constellation,
00:24launched from Henan.
00:25Less than a day later, China sent up the fourth batch of Yaogun-40 satellites from Taiyuan,
00:31designed for electromagnetic environment detection.
00:34These Yaogun satellites orbit near the poles at about 800 kilometers altitude.
00:39More launches are expected to complete the constellation.
00:42Meanwhile, the Guowang satellites entered planned orbits roughly 1-100 kilometers high,
00:48part of a network expected to include around 13,000 satellites.
00:52China's next crewed mission, Shenzhou-24, is likely in November
00:57and may include the first foreign astronaut to visit the Tiangong Space Station,
01:02marking a historic milestone in international space cooperation.
