It's not exactly illegal, only if you don't declare to government departments to be regulated. After all, Chinese people also drive and have to use navigation apps. You may find "Eh why, why doesn't the road network on the satellite image of the Chinese map match up with the road network in the picture?" That's because there is a law that states that the latitude and longitude coordinates used for satellite images are Mars coordinates. Here it is the one of the major navigation app's provider: AutoNavi (高德) Map's satelite map demo. People can buy the service for such as the map for the agricultural protection drones, truck routing for freight companies and so on. Why there's no 'real private space company'. Firstly, objectively speaking, there are still gaps in China's space technology. Secondly, private spaceflight may not even be able to make a solid rocket if it does not receive technical and policy support from the state or the local government. Finally, perhaps it's a cultural difference, but in China anyway, to do something similar without government regulation people will think you are doing something nefarious and unscrupulous. Come on, if one day there have several cars that you'll know it's a Chinese mapping company's by a quick glance driving around in America communities nearly everywhere, and who knows how many their satellites focusing the America communities. Then they claim that they are mapping America without any kind of US gov's supervision. What you think?

After all the plagiarism, here's something that's essentially technically original: the Beijing Institute of Spacecraft System Engineering has applied for a new patent called "Airship protection cover capable of being repeatedly unfolded and folded". I think it may be use on the new manned spacecraft in future. This one got 'offically machine translation' (sounds weird). So I think it's easily for everyone to find the details about it.

I have not done any research on this company. Anyway, from a personal point of view, whenever I see any of new domestic private aerospace company, my reflex is "What's another clever excuse to get the big bosses to inject money?" Alright, this one isn't someone making big rocket or something but the little satellites. I find them offical webside and I believe they are focusing on the high resolution satellites constellations. The satellites seem to be civilian gadgets for particularly peaceful purposes. Perhaps this isn't a quite good excuse to get the money and they can't afford a good desginer for their logo hahaha

Try not to break the rule: I think it have both of them. For example, in the classroom of high and senior high schools. You can see many slogen about must study harder kind of things. Is that political? It can't reach that. But in the launch center or somewhere the troop's trainning site, can we saying that there is no political element at all in this? The answer also would be 'no' either. Much of this is a cultural and political 'inertia': my master's master did it, so when it's my master's and my turn, then we'll do it too. In the age of the telegraph, Chinese could be compressed to the maximum extent possible and still give a full description of what was happening. Let's take an example that doesn't sound good: send a telegram to my brother about 'Dad has died, come home quickly for the funeral'. A Chinese telegram could be: 父亡速归 (translate directly: father died, come home quickly). In the telegraphic era, each Chinese character was referred to using a 4-digit number. This undoubtedly saved a great deal of time in transmitting information and, because every word of the telegraph was not cheap, a certain amount of cost was saved at the same time. Almost every Chinese character can have a story, and because a single character can contains so much information that some definite article is needed to indicate what the character is describing. But this kind of thing does not only occur in Chinese-English or Japanese-English translations, it often occurs in translations from English to Chinese as well. For example, I'm quite getting used of English's "which is... who is..."that thing. And there's no similar way to say that in Chinese. So often I need a little time to warm up my 'Chinese module' when I'm chatting to my friends back home after I've finished writing my school essay report or something like that.

Well you know, DPRK is our ‘Blood Alliance’ so it’s nothing weird that they seems like us I think one of the reasons why put so many words on there would be: We can’t put commercial advertisements on there because we got laws to ban it. And is too weird that leave these place blank. Ask someone to draw something on there would be too expansive. So, slogan, put the slogan on there! Actually, this kind of thing can be worst: once there have a interview about the women soldier in SWAT. There have a slogan backed to her said: Training Counter Terrorist Elite (打造反恐精兵). The character of ‘打’ was not in the camera, and the ‘恐’ was covered by this soldier. And what we saw the slogan in the interview was ‘Rebellious Elite (造反精兵)’ “I used to have a nice job but…”

CZ-2D Y64 rocket successfully launched the Yaogan(Remote Sensor)-35 02 group A,B, and C satellites into LEO SSO. The three satellites are mainly used for scientific experiments and census of land and resources. And the photogragher probably took the photo too hurry, taken this while the satellite was obscuring the banner behind it. And published! Before, all the banner should be "Seriousness, Meticulous, Secure and Reliable, Absolutely Safe, Perfectly Success (严肃认真,一丝不苟,稳妥可靠,万无一失,圆满成功)" After, in this picture covered one characters: Never Perfectly Success

Another 8K video shot by Shenzhou-13 crew finished edited: The window outside is the blue star 00:21: There's nothing easy in the space. But we can enjoy the stunning view of the gift from the universe through the window. 1:14: Human civilisation shines with a golden sheen. I think if this video authorized to use this for bgm will be much more better Using 2k screen to watch something 8k. That's my problem: I can't afford it after all

Kuaizhou-1A rocket successfully resumes: the last launch was the failed one last December. Kuaizhou-1A Y15 successfully launch the Tianxing(天行, Sky Walk)-1 Testing Satellite at 10:08 BST. The satellite is mainly used to carry out experiments such as space environment exploration (Via: PLA Daily's Weibo). (This launch could be an order from the PLA)

I've never been in a building like this myself, so I don't think I'm qualified to say what the experience was like inside. But just down the road from my home, on the other side, another traditional reinforced concrete primary school is being built. If my estimates are correct both school gates are estimated to be no more than 300 metres. I think this school in the video should be built quickly for short term to cater for the children in the surrounding area. Mold, leaking things actually I also quite curious how they fix it: there is a sub-tropical coast city which means we got rainy season in spring to summer that easily make everything mildwed and many typhoons in summer. There is a local TV interview with the head of the school and the engineer who built the primary school. The engineer said that the panels used inside are prefabricated panels called 'cabin panels' (or litral directly translate to 'ship cabin panels') which I think are supposed to be of aluminium construction. "There is no paint, no benzene, xylene or other toxic or harmful fumes in those panels.", said by the engineer. The vice-principal of the school said in an interview that he had "obtained data from a third-party company to test the indoor air quality of the school before moving in, and that he had communicated fully with parents before moving in". This video definatly won't have any English substitle but it have some clips on how it was built: https://weibo.com/1789681642/JwB9SxQLm?refer_flag=1001030103_

Don't know can this related to the science news but I think is really cool: I'm not in China right now and few months ago my parents said that the 'Government Reserve Sites' (it was the waste land with nearly 1m tall grass) diagonally across the road from my home, was built a primary school using the prefabricated container modules. From a literally wasteland to children babbling in their classrooms in just six months. Yesterday I was curious to try to search how was it looks like inside and I got this: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1X64y1h7PF?spm_id_from=333.880.my_history.page.click&vd_source=6fef304b8d0c4737896e6b702ddfbfb3 Fast foward to 02:41. Few years ago I even threw tennis ball for my dog here

Looks like CNSA try to copy the way of Chang'e-4 and Chang'e 5 missions to Mars project. But however, as a robot avid fan and a guy grow up with dogs, I really like this one below: Considering the number of videos and images already available, the PLA has already applied robotic dogs in training for urban street fighting. It's only 2022, and who knows how far the technology will have matured by 2031.

Yep it was a mid-range ABM test: "According to the Ministry of National Defense: On the evening of June 19, China conducted a test of land-based mid-range anti-missile interception technology in its territory, and the test achieved its intended purpose. This test was defensive in nature and was not targeted at any country. " And there really have some interesting sight in the sky: Via: https://weibo.com/1914919243/LyuJC4GM6; https://weibo.com/1142487595/Lyuznlyii

Something 'interesting' is likely to occur in a few hours later. Considering that it will be 19:30 at this point, the inhabitants along the route should see an aesthetically quite interesting sight in the sky if something really wild has been done. Although none of the places framed by this yellow box will have any major cities, basically places where you can look up at night and see the Milky Way. I guess it could be a mid-range ABM test.

In theory it's definitely possible, but what you can see with this telescope thing probably depends more on how much money you have available for what equipment, and how light polluted the location you're photographing is. Such as this one. And that guy just wrote a program by himself for automatic tracking.

New scientific research results from Chang'e 5: Through the international first joint experimental analysis results of lunar samples and spectral data from lunar surface in-situ probing, the presence, form and amount of water in lunar samples were examined, answering the question of the distribution characteristics and sources of water in the Chang'e 5 landing zone, and providing ground truth values for the interpretation and estimation of water signals in remote sensing probing data. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-022-30807-5

If it is Kuaizhou rocket, the closest recorded failure to a date were 27 September 2021, the Kuaizhou-1A Y13 launched Jilin-1 (Inner Mongolia-1) Satellite, and 15 December 2021, the Kuaizhou-1A Y16 rocket launched GeeSAT Dual Satellites. I think it more likely was an accident on the test-run. After all, even the CZ-5 rocket's engines also exploded at least once before.

One more bad news: the i-Space, which have three consecutive failed rocket launches (Hyperbola Rocket), now the company advertised "We undertake external rentals of plant and testing and production of valves, pumps and seal assemblies." I can't say they're 'done', but I think the current moment for them must be very hard

When I was watching the Shenzhou-14's launch live, when the spacecraft was seprate with the rocket, the lvie feed lags for 2-3 seconds. And when it came back to normal, I felt as if it was a little sharper than it was before the lag (although it still looks like the resolution of a phone camera from almost a decade ago - quite blurry). And now there's an official report confirming that it wasn't my eyes that were deceiving me: a group at the University of Science and Technology of China has improved the picture quality with a streaming image quality enhancement system (original source). Simply put, probably was like: a certain leader: no change in bandwidth, give me an upgrade from 288p to 1080p resolution The subject team: F@%^&#$! Then they rebuilt the image with a new compression algorithm + AI super-resolution processing and seems like it really worked. But atually if the resolution can be like this in the future for the 'Next-generation crewed spacecraft' launch live: I don't know how happy I will be

An official promotion board appeared in the CCTV news and the words in the red box are: The space station project will be finished at around 2022. An optical module (Xuntian telescope) and an extended core module will be launched during the operation phase. Two manned spacecraft will be launched every year and one cargo spacecraft every eight months, enabling astronauts to reside on the space station and carry out maintenance and repair and scientific experiments on the space station. (via Weibo) A group photo of the space station development team shot before the Tianhe was launched. Quite curious to see what improvements they will make based on the experience of using it in these missions. How to maximum use sunlight? This is because the entire station's power grid is integrated, meaning that while the station itself can supply power to the manned and cargo spacecraft, the manned and cargo spacecraft can also transmit power to the station in the opposite direction.

A vedio about Shenzhou-14 crew's training, including the EVA training by VR and in the pool, docking training, training in the Tianhe's training module, and wilderness and sea survival training: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1dr4y1G7ge?spm_id_from=333.337.search-card.all.click&vd_source=6fef304b8d0c4737896e6b702ddfbfb3
