I'm not quite sure what we're talking about. It's not XīnYīDài Zàirén Fēichuán, is it some new spacecraft (for tourists) and a rocket for it? Can someone clarify?

I'm pretty sure the article is talking about the next-generation crewed spaceship (新一代载人飞船) that's been under development for some time. A prototype already flew back in 2020.

This is the same one that flew right?

The article literally said XīnYīDài (new generation) Zàirén (crewed) Fēichuán (spacecraft).

The second Zhuque-2 rocket is at the launch site, so launch is imminent.

If it succeeded, it still can be the first Methalox rocket into orbit.

(Continued from above...)

The Longjiang-3 satellite is an experimental satellite developed by Harbin University of Technology, and it will be used to verify key technologies for China's future low-orbit broadband communications satellites, such as stackable form factor and high-speed data transmission.

The satellite is based on and developed from the SATware-CS200 Ka-band satellite platform, some specs of which are listed below:
- Weight: 40kg (load), 120kg (platform)
- Dimensions when folded for stacking: no more than 2300mm × 1100mm × 350mm
- Design life: 5 years
- Orbit: SSO/500km
- Data transmission speeds: download 600Mbps, upload 500Mbps
- Capacity for IoT users: 1400 concurrent users at 2.88kbps each
