China achieves key milestone in satellite-ground laser communication

According to data from the institute, China's aerospace technology is undergoing revolutionary changes, with satellite technology advancing rapidly. The exponential growth in data generated by satellites poses a significant challenge: the increasing difficulty of transmitting massive amounts of data promptly, which requires the new technological system with greater transmission capabilities.

Satellite-ground laser communication, using lasers for data transmission, provides a high-speed link between satellites and the ground. This technology is essential for future transmission of massive data from satellites to the ground, the institute said.
