Satellite ground stations provide key link in stable data flow

A 12-meter dual-frequency antenna at Lijiang Satellite Ground Station of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Aerospace Information Innovation Research Institute greatly help the country receive stable satellite data transmission. As the head of the Lijiang Satellite Ground Station at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Aerospace Information Innovation Research Institute, Tang's primary responsibility is to ensure the equipment runs smoothly. Since the establishment of the first ground station in Miyun district, Beijing, in 1986, the China Remote Sensing Satellite Ground Station has built a network of satellite receiving stations in Lijiang; Kashgar, West China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region; Sanya, South China's Hainan province; and Mohe, Northeast China's Heilongjiang province. The satellite data receiving station network, composed of these five stations, boasts 38 large-diameter data receiving antennas and over 10 high-speed optical fiber data transmission links, leading the world in scale and technical specifications, according to the Aerospace Information Research Institute under the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
