In order to support the more and more satellites and its ambitions, China has established ground stations around the world, so that some countries are worried that the network will be used for spy activities.China denies this.
(Beijing Comprehensive News) China plans to build satellite ground stations in Antarctica to support marine monitoring satellite networks as a measure to achieve its goal of promoting marine economic development and accelerating the goal of marine power.
According to Reuters reported on February 2, in order to support its increasing number of satellites and its ambitions, China has established ground station networks around the world, but some countries are worried that the Internet will be used to engage in spy activities.China denies this.
Swedish state -owned space companies that once provided ground stations for Chinese spacecraft flying and transmission data. In 2020, due to geopolitics "changes", they refused to renew their contracts or accept new Chinese business with China.
Comprehensive China Aerospace News Daily reported that China Aerospace Science and Industry Group Aerospace Construction Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as aerospace design) is 43.95 million yuan (S $ 8.59 million), winning the China National Satellite Ocean Application CenterMarine Observation Satellite ground system Overseas satellite ground station construction project.
It is reported that the project was built by the National Satellite Ocean Application Center of China at Zhongshan Station in Antarctica. It is another milestone in the field of aerospace design in depth the field of marine satellite."Development space", to accelerate the construction of a marine power, we must adhere to the overall planning of land and sea and promote the high -quality development of the marine economy.
Zhongshan Station is located in the Pricz Bay, south of the Indian Ocean. After more than 20 years of expansion, the construction area is 5,800 square meters. It is one of the two permanent research stations in Antarctica in Antarctica.
The report did not provide technical details of satellite ground stations, but China Aerospace News announced the design diagram of the four ground stations in Zhongshan Station.
In order to achieve the coverage of spacecraft 24 hours a day and ensure continuous communication, the aerospace country usually builds a aerospace measurement station in other countries.The United States and Russia and Europe have aerospace measurement and control stations in other countries, and China is no exception.
China was built at the end of 2016, a satellite ground station in Batayonia, Argentina, although China guarantees that the ground station is built for peaceful space observations and spacecraft mission. People are still worried about the purpose of the ground station.
A military measurement ship in China stopped at the port built by Chinese -funded Chinese -funded in Sri Lanka last year. It also caused strong opposition from India and worried about potential spy activities.
Analysts said the ship was responsible for monitoring the launch of satellites, rockets and missiles.
