First in the World, China Successfully Tested 6G Satellite in Space

BEIJING – On November 6, 2020,rocket Long March 6 was launched on Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. The rocket managed to send 13 satellites into a predetermined orbit. (Also read: Huawei Boss Talks About the Role of 5G and 6G Network Development)

Among these 13 satellites, there is one satellite labeled the University of Electronic Science and Technology. This is the world’s first 6G test satellite.

The World’s First 6G Satellite
The Electronic Science and Technology Satellite aka Tianyan 05 Satellite was built by Chengdu Guoxing Aerospace Science and Technology Co., Ltd., University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and Beijing Weinaxingkong Technology Co., Ltd. Its main purpose is remote sensing observation of the ground.

His areas of focus are urban construction, agriculture and forestry disaster monitoring, and other industries requiring similar services. At the same time, the satellite will test the terahertz communication load.

Giz China reports that the Electronic Science and Technology University satellite weighs 70 kilograms and carries a terahertz satellite communications payload. Satellites create links transceiver and performs a terahertz load test on platform satellite. It will also be a global platform for terahertz communications in space application scenarios.

Terahertz Communications and Its Excellence
Terahertz communication has the advantages of abundant spectrum resources, high transmission speed and easy integration of communication perception. This technology has important application prospects in the field of terrestrial and space communications. It is one of the key technologies of the world’s sixth generation of cellular communications (6G).

Professor Xu Yangsheng, said, this is the world’s first 6G test satellite. The satellite has the first technical verification of terahertz communications in a space application scenario. This marks a breakthrough in the exploration of the terahertz space communications technology in China’s aerospace field.

The Electronic Science and Technology University satellite has completed technical research in the core components of the terahertz frequency band and terahertz communication systems. This is especially true for very tight space load constraints. And it has solved technical problems like miniaturization and low power consumption.
