Shenzhou-22 spacecraft returns triumphantly! Self-developed equipment from SATEC provides on-site satellite communication support for Xinhua News Agency.

8:11 p.m., May 29, 2026，The return capsule of the Shenzhou-22 manned spacecraft landed successfully at the Dongfeng Landing Site, marking the complete success of the manned space mission.

During this major space mission, high-throughput Ka-band portable satellite terminals with apertures of 0.35 m and 0.5 m independently developed by SATEC were deployed on site to deliver professional communication support for Xinhua News Agency’s field operations. The support mainly covered communication link setup and data transmission rather than live broadcast signal feed, ensuring stable and unobstructed on-site communication links.

Tailored to the mission conditions, the technical team optimized equipment parameters, adjusted communication links and conducted performance tests in advance based on field surroundings and application requirements. Leveraging the products’ merits of portability, quick deployment, steady signal and strong anti-interference capability, the terminals made up for the lack of terrestrial network coverage in the wild area. Benefiting from proven product performance and technical solutions, the devices maintained stable operation throughout the mission and efficiently underpinned all on-site communication services.

As self-developed portable devices in the satellite communication sector, high-throughput Ka-band portable satellite terminals flexibly satisfy communication demands for diverse field and remote locations. Supporting news coverage for this aerospace mission serves as another practical verification of the products’ overall performance.

Going forward, SATEC will keep advancing R&D of satellite communication technologies and refining high-quality products, empowering smooth execution of various key missions with robust technical strengths.
