China has made remarkable progress in science and technology in terms of national defense and comprehensive national strength, and we should be proud of it. However, in today's fierce international competition, we still need to continue to work hard and forge ahead.
China's future development prospects are broad, and we have gone through many difficult periods and are moving forward towards a better tomorrow. However, there are still those who blindly worship the West and the United States and have a contemptuous attitude towards our motherland.
Some people think that foreign satellite businesses understand our actions and pose a threat to our ***. But we in China seem to know nothing about this, so they assert that we are "inferior in technology".
This kind of assessment that is too one-sided and lacks a global vision is ridiculous. In fact, China is already quietly rising, and they are still blindly following the West.
China has made great achievements in the satellite industry, from the initial development of difficult development to now become an important force in global satellite technology. Along the way, China has overcome many difficulties and challenges, from passive acceptance to active creation, created one brilliant space miracle after another, and successfully carried forward China's space spirit.
This article not only reveals the importance of geostationary satellite systems in communications, but also lays a solid foundation for the further development of global satellite communication theory. Since the launch of the first commercial satellite in 1961, the United States has begun the profound impact of science and technology on production and life, especially communication and information transmission on a global scale.
This incident has stimulated an upsurge in the satellite industry, and various countries have paid more attention to the development of satellite science and technology, especially its application in the military field, so as to protect national sovereignty and security and prevent crises.
Next, let's take a look at the definition and role of satellites. Artificial Earth satellites can be divided into three main types: scientific satellites, technical test satellites, and application satellites.
Among them, the application of satellites is mainly for human services.
An artificial satellite is a spacecraft that is extremely versatile and rapidly evolving. It not only meets the needs of communication in people's daily life, but also plays an indispensable and important role in the military.
China has a land area of about 9.6 million square kilometers and a total of more than 4.7 million square kilometers of inland and border seas.
As a populous country, China also shares borders with 14 countries and eight across the sea. Therefore, it is urgent to develop the satellite industry and fully control the overall situation!
Immediately afterwards, China successfully launched the first artificial satellite Dongfanghong No. 1, and under the guidance of the "5 19" instructions and the "331" project, China's satellite industry began to take off, and the construction of the five major systems was in full swing.
During the development and launch process, Chinese researchers demonstrated their perseverance and determination, and after unremitting efforts, they finally successfully launched Dongfanghong 2 in 1984.
Since then, China has become the fifth country in the world to independently launch a geostationary orbit communications satellite. The Dongfanghong-2 satellite not only enabled China to take the first step in independently manufacturing satellites and achieved signal transmission and communication coverage of the entire territory of the country and its surrounding areas, but also improved its military reconnaissance capability and greatly facilitated the collection and transmission of military information.
Driven by successful experience, China's satellite industry has found a direction and impetus for progress and has begun to flourish. The successful launch of the practical communication and broadcasting satellite in 1986 was a good start, and then China successively launched a number of satellites.
However, in the 80s, China's satellite industry reached its heyday, but it was faced with a difficult problem: the life of China's satellites was about to expire, and the United States, Europe and other powerful countries were developing rapidly in the competition in the field of space, and China had no choice but to rent or buy products from other countries.
At the trough of our country's satellite industry, we also did not know anything about the activities of US warships, and our technical strength was inferior. However, even in such a situation 40 years ago, our country has not lost faith and remains resilient and courageous.
Not to mention the current China, we are fortunate to live up to expectations, after several years of hard work by scientists, finally successfully developed the "Dongfanghong No. 3", and successfully launched in 1994, continue to serve the people's lives and national needs.
Now, official and state-published data alone is enough for our satellites to rank at the top for communications and military needs. Not to mention the hidden national power.
China's satellite industry is flourishing on China's vast fertile soil, like a vigorous tree, showing strong vitality. In the more than 60 years since the development of human spaceflight, progress has been made by leaps and bounds.
However, is the United States, which was the first to launch commercial satellites, in a position to lead the way, far ahead of other countries?
Although the United States had an early start in the development of satellites, and gained valuable experience under the launch of satellites and the publication of related theories by the Soviet Union in 1957, the United States became a superpower for a period of time, and used satellites to detect enemy situations and gain a head start, ahead of other countries.
However, in the context of increasingly fierce international competition and the development of multipolarization, all countries have begun to actively develop science and technology to strengthen national defense. Currently, the number of countries with dedicated military satellites has reached double digits.
With its strong economic strength and the support of scientific and technological talents, the United States has successfully walked in the forefront of the world, especially in military satellite technology, and has established a system with global coverage.
Other countries have also begun to tilt satellite technology into the military field in order to maintain the best satellite technology, including countries such as Japan, India and Europe. The advantages of military satellites are fully demonstrated in these countries.
In local wars such as the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, and the Iraq War, the United States, through its excellent satellite technology, has a deeper grasp of the enemy's movements, makes combat plans in advance, and ensures that information is accurately transmitted to the front line.
Only by having an in-depth understanding of both sides can we reduce our own losses and achieve "victory in all battles." With the continuous improvement of China's comprehensive national strength, we have now shown more and more powerful influence on the international stage and have become a force to be reckoned with.
Although China has tried to seek hegemony, the wariness of the United States and a different political system have made them suspicious of Chinese communism. Therefore, they began to unite with some people to try to interfere in some of China's principled issues, and constantly test and violate China's bottom line.
These behaviors pose a serious threat to China's security and stability, such as a recent incident, the news of the spacecraft's return to the ground on May 8, 2023 has just been officially announced in China, and some people abroad have advanced the landing time, and even a satellite company in the United States has used the "synthetic aperture radar satellite" technology to take pictures of the status of China's spacecraft landing site and its perspective.
Obviously, our actions were observed by other countries. When you think about it, it's terrifying. If our every move is known by other countries, whether it is against us or against us, specific information will be provided, which is very detrimental to our country.
This incident also shows the ambition of the United States. However, how could our great Chinese power tolerate such a situation?
In the face of modern technology, such as the peep of satellites, although the United States has made great efforts, such as keyhole satellites and the Starlink program, and even the intelligence agency NRO under the United States.
However, our country "does not cause trouble, but is not afraid of trouble", we insist on technological progress, by reducing the gap and taking necessary precautions to prevent it.
Using the knowledge of the orbit of the satellite, it is possible to interfere with camouflage, like equipping the military with "camouflage uniforms" so that they can be skillfully integrated into the natural environment, and even building bases and important military facilities underwater, underground or in the mountains, these are effective strategies.
The fact that our country has been able to develop from nothing to the present is inseparable from the efforts of the people and the hard work of scientists. From the "Three Musketeers of Beijing Post and Mail" to Sun Jiadong, the "father of Chinese satellites", they are the backbone of our country's development.
The leader once said: "It is these aspirants, with deep respect for the country, who unremittingly promote the development of China's aerospace industry, so that China can come out of the ridicule of 'inferior technology' and strengthen its conviction in doubt."
They are those unsung creators and are our loveliest people. "Today, when the international community is becoming increasingly fierce and undercurrent, China still needs to stick to its beliefs and continue to take the road of anti-surveillance.
