China Deploys 24/7 Commercial Space Debris Monitoring Constellation

China has begun deploying a 24/7 commercial space debris monitoring constellation, aimed at observing space debris and executing round-the-clock all-orbit target detection. The constellation is part of China's efforts to address the growing problem of space debris in Earth's orbit. Space debris is a major concern for space agencies and satellite operators, as it can cause collisions and damage to operational spacecraft. China's new constellation is expected to improve the monitoring and detection of space debris.
