China successfully performs a key test of its first rival of SpaceX Starlink satellites

The achievement achieved paves the way for the orbit of other satellites destined to provide 5G connection in the most remote areas of the planet, as detailed by the Chinese private company Galaxy Space.

The first 5G Chinese commercial satellite successfully passed his first communication ability test a month after its launch into low Earth orbit, according to the Chinese private company Galaxy Space.

The achievement paves the way for sending other Internet service satellites that can complement 5G stations, the company details. This type of communication satellites, broadband and low Earth orbit, can help provide stable and fast signals in remote areas, such as deserts or oceans. Galaxy Space, founded in 2016, want to place hundreds of them to provide global 5G coverage.

In 2018, China opened its ambitious space program to private companies, allowing Chinese entrepreneurs to test their strength to compete with the billionaire founders of the US aerospace companies SpaceX and Blue Origin, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, respectively.

For its part, this Monday the aerospace company SpaceX orbited 60 new Starlink satellites, thus increasing its number to 300.

At the end of 2018, a Chinese state developer launched the rocket Chángzheng-11 (Long March-11, in Spanish), which did the same with the first satellite of the Hongyun project, which must be part of a satellite network in the aforementioned orbit.
