China successfully launched the "Muduo-1" satellite constellation aboard a Long March-6C rocket from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center on August 25. Developed by Beijing Normal University, the twin satellites—Muduo 1A and Muduo 1B—aim to validate real-time remote sensing technology featuring inter-satellite connectivity, on-board data processing, and direct transmission to mobile devices. By eliminating response lags in traditional satellite imagery, the mission provides critical real-time data for emergency management and disaster risk prevention.
