China has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in satellite-to-ground laser communications, surpassing Elon Musk's Starlink.
The country successfully transmitted data at an unprecedented rate of 100 gigabits per second, shattering its previous record by a factor of ten.
This remarkable feat, accomplished by Chang Guang Satellite Technology, paves the way for a new era of space-based technologies.
The Jilin-1 constellation, touted as the world's largest sub-meter commercial remote sensing satellite network, played a crucial role in this achievement.
According to the South China Morning Post, the data transmission occurred between a mobile truck-based ground station and one of the 117 constellation satellites orbiting Earth.
