China's Space Program News Thread

I expected this much. In the long term it makes sense to merge both global positioning networks to save costs.
Russia is having loads of problems with making the satellites last long enough in space. Particularly since with the sanctions they lost access to space grade electronics imports from Europe. The replacement satellites they made as a stopgap have vastly reduced lifetime.

They might have their own satellites to increase resolution in the Arctic but for most places it makes no sense to have duplicate satellites.

That is good, not only saving cost but enhance the combined system which would have doubled bandwidth and orbital resources (satellite positions and coverage) and further enhance accuracy and redundancy.

unlike civil semiconductors (for now at least),

and even export them to EU countries.

Russians are more woke than some countries in this though. They understand the value and power of Chinese industry and science. This is in stark contrast to some countries who are backed into a corner and yet are still choosing beggars.

Perfect. Reduce development and maintenance costs for both sides. Wouldnt be surprised if China and Russia do a swap of SSBN and CV technologies next.

possible for Jiangnan to build a shipyard in Murmansk or Vladivostok.

Does the satellite actually look like this?

Not from what I heard. Not that they should know either. It is not like a ground telescope has enough resolution.
