China has achieved real-time reception of satellite data across all its national territory and 70 percent of the land area in Asia since September, when a satellite ground station located at an altitude of 2,827 meters in Yulong Naxi autonomous county, Lijiang, was completed and put into operation.

"In other words, when a satellite passes over China, the data it collects is received by the ground station and transmitted in real-time to the Beijing headquarters for distribution to relevant units or research departments, enabling them to access the data promptly," said Tang Mengyue, head of the Lijiang Satellite Ground Station at the Chinese Academy of Sciences Aerospace Information Innovation Research Institute.
