Guowang
Guowang, officially Satellite Internet Series Satellites is a Chinese low-Earth orbit satellite internet megaconstellation to create a system of worldwide internet coverage. It was created by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, a state-owned enterprise backed by the Chinese Academy of Space Technology. The project was started in 2022 as a rival to the Starlink satellite constellation installed by SpaceX, and plans to be constituted of over 13,000 satellites by the project's end.
Around 6,000 of the planned satellites are expected to orbit between 500 and 600 km, comparable to Starlink, and around 7,000 in a higher orbit at around 1,145 km. All satellites launched so far have been placed either in the higher orbits of the second group at around 1.145 km, or in an orbit around 900 km.
As of October 2025, the program has launched 18 experimental series satellites, 3 high Earth orbit satellites and 127 low Earth orbit satellites. The megaconstellation is managed by China SatNet and is believed to have both civilian and military applications.
