🇯🇵 Japan successfully launched the Michibiki No. 7 satellite (QZS-7), moving closer to creating its own navigation system independent of GPS. 🚀 The launch took place from the Tanegashima Space Center using the H3 rocket. 📉 However, a full constellation is not yet in place: in December 2025, Satellite No. 5 was lost. 🌏 The QZSS system uses unique orbits to cover mountainous areas and cities. 🔮 Expansion to 11 satellites is planned by the end of the 2030s.

🇯🇵 Japan successfully launched the sixth 'Michibiki 7' satellite with the H3 rocket! 🚀 The launch took place from the Tanegashima Space Center on the night of August 11, 2026. This is a major step towards independence from GPS: the Japanese QZSS system provides accuracy up to 6 cm (compared to 10 m for GPS). 📊 By the mid-2030s, Japan plans to launch 11 satellites to fully ensure sovereignty in navigation. #Japan #Space #QZSS #Technology

🚀 SpaceX has restored the free rental of Starlink Mini for the Residential Max plan ($130/mo) in the US and Canada. The bonus, which disappeared in June, is available again. ⚠️ At the same time, the company has limited the new Starlink V5 antenna: the Standby mode ($10/mo) and GPS module have been removed. V5 is now only for the $55/mo plan and stationary use. 📉 V5 speed is up to 375 Mbps (lower than V4). SpaceX's strategy: premium clients get mobility, the mass segment gets simplified equipment.
