At 20:11 on May 29, 2026, the Shenzhou‑21 taikonaut crew returned aboard the Shenzhou‑22 Manned Spacecraft. re‑entry capsule landed safely at the Dongfeng Landing Site, with taikonauts Zhang Lu, Wu Fei and Zhang Hongzhang exiting safely in good health. Having completed a 210‑day in‑orbit stay, the crew set a new national record for the longest single‑mission duration by Chinese taikonauts. The live broadcast was supported by two dedicated vehicles: one jointly operated by China Satcom and Inner Mongolia TV, and the other by StarWin’s expert team together with CMG. Notably, CMG’s chief director conducted real‑time on‑site live broadcast command inside StarWin’s live vehicle.
Located in remote desert with no terrestrial network, the harsh dusk‑to‑night environment posed extreme challenges for live transmission. StarWin’s Ku‑band ESA50（Elephant Win） terminal、Ka-band ESA30（Monkey Win）and flagship FL30 automatic portable terminal delivered stunning performance under ATP-6D. As the core COTP device, FL30 ensured uninterrupted, high‑quality signal access throughout the entire mission.
StarWin’s satellite communication solution provided CMG with full‑coverage, rock‑solid live feeds from cross‑country transport to on‑site landing and recovery, meeting the strictest aerospace broadcast standards.
Honored to safeguard every historic moment of China’s manned spaceflight! ✨
