China announced on Tuesday that it has opened the world’s largest internet test facility backbone network, a move that analysts said will push the development of next-generation innovations mapped out in China’s blueprint for the next five years, while ensuring the country’s internet stability and security, while ending reliance on the US. Powered by FITI, the number of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) addresses owned by China has jumped to the No.1 ranking in the world in early April. For China, IPv6 is a tough battle that it cannot afford to lose, and it is the key to preserving the economic foundation and industrial advantages of the internet. For the future, IPv6 is just the starting point of an eye-catching blitz.
China successfully launched remote sensing satellite Yaogan-31 04 on Sat carried by a Long March-4C rocket from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in NW China’s Gansu to survey electromagnetic environment
300 days after its failed maiden flight, China’s new generation medium-sized carrier rocket, LongMarch-7A Y2, took off from Wenchang Space Launch Center, successfully carrying a technology verification #satellite into a preset orbit early Friday morning.
China authorised 530,000 invention patents in 2020, 17% more than the previous year, and the country applied for 68,720 international patents in 2020, indicating China has become a major nation of IPR innovations.
Chinese chipmaker Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation SMIC, announced on Wed a deal for $1.2 bln worth of purchase orders with Dutch mask aligner manufacturing giant, ASML, based on an amended and restated volume purchase agreement.
Tianwen-1, China’s first Mars probe, successfully reached the Red Planet on Wednesday at around 7:52 pm, homing in on the Earth’s planetary neighbor after an epic seven-month journey of nearly 500 million kilometers.
After a 15-minute firing of its 3,000-newton thrust engine, the spacecraft reached an elliptical Mars orbit at around 400 kilometers from the planet, according to a statement China’s National Space Administration (CNSA) provided to the Global Times on Wednesday.
Tianwen-1 circuitous flight has seen the spacecraft travel some 475 million kilometers, taking it some 192 million kilometers from Earth, with all systems in good condition, CNSA said. The communication time delay between the probe and Earth is about 10.7 minutes.
It will carry out several orbital course corrections before finally selecting a landing spot and touching down, which is scheduled to happen between May and June.
2-8-21 China’s first homegrown quantum computer operating system was unveiled in Hefei, E.China’s Anhui Province on Monday.
The system, developed by Origin Quantum Computing Technology Co Ltd., will be used on quantum computers – a type of new computers that have been touted as being able to solve complex computational problems much faster than any classic computers.
The new OS has been optimized for the resource management and parallel processing capabilities of quantum computers. It can also calibrate the quantum chips automatically, according to the company.
Currently, only dozens of quantum computers are available in the world. Experts believe if they are not being used effectively, their incredible computing power will be wasted.
China’s Tianwen-1 Mars probe sent back its first image of Mars. It has travelled about 465 million kilometers, reaching more than 184 million kilometers from earth and 1.1 million kilometers from Mars as of 8 pm Friday.
2-4-21 China has successfully sent its communication experimental satellite-6 into preset orbit by a Long March-3B carrier rocket at 23:36 from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan Province.
