China launched the Gravity-1 carrier rocket on 22 July 2026 and placed nine satellites into their designated orbits. The launch took place at 10:54 a.m. Beijing time from a maritime platform in the East China Sea , east of Shanghai. Satellite Payload The nine satellites included Dongpo-13, Dongpo-14, Dongpo-17, Dongpo-18, Dongpo-19, Dongpo-20, Xiguang-2 01, Tianyi-49, and Lilac-3, which is also called Zidingxiang-3. The Dongpo satellites are designed for all-weather and all-time Earth observation. Xiguang-2 01 and Tianyi-49 are intended for applications such as mineral exploration, agriculture, forestry, environmental monitoring, and urban planning. These uses place the mission within the broader field of Earth observation and remote sensing. Commercial Sea Launches in China This mission was the first far-sea launch for a private commercial rocket in the East China Sea waters of China’s Yangtze River Delta region. Maritime launch platforms are used for launches over open water, which...

  China has set a 2030 target for 50% of its power generation to come from non-fossil sources under the 15th Five-Year Plan for Building a New Energy System. The plan was jointly issued by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration in June 2026. China’s Energy Mix Targets China’s non-fossil share of power generation stood at 41% in 2025, and the new target raises it to 50% by 2030. The plan also sets a target for non-fossil sources to account for 25% of total energy consumption by 2030, compared with 14% in 2025. Installed Capacity and Storage Goals Wind and solar power are expected to exceed 50% of China’s total installed power generation capacity by 2030, up from about 47% at the end of 2025. The plan targets non-pumped hydro energy storage capacity of 300 GW and pumped-storage hydropower capacity of 160 GW by 2030, compared with 62 GW in 2025. Hydrogen, Nuclear Power and Grid Flexibility China has set a target of 2 million tonnes per ye...

  A new feathered gliding dinosaur named Jian changmaensis was announced on 4 June 2026 in a study published in Annals of Carnegie Museum. The 120-million-year-old fossil was found in the Changma Basin in Gansu province, northwestern China. Classification of Microraptors Jian changmaensis belongs to Microraptoria, a group of small predatory theropod dinosaurs within the broader dromaeosaurid family. Microraptors are known from the Early Cretaceous period and are closely related to Velociraptor. Feather Structure and Gliding Adaptation The fossil shows long feathers on both the forelimbs and hind limbs, which gave the animal a four-winged appearance. Scientists classify this body plan as an adaptation for gliding rather than powered flight. The estimated wingspan of the dinosaur was about four feet, a size comparable to a barn owl. The four-winged form is also seen in other microraptor fossils from northeastern China. Changma Basin and Early Cretaceous Fossils The Changma Basin is k...
