The first launch for a coming Chinese internet megaconstellation turned out to be quite messy. On Tuesday morning (Aug. 6), a Chinese Long March 6A rocket launched the first 18 satellites for the Qianfan ("Thousand Sails") broadband network, which will eventually host up to 14,000 spacecraft. The rocket successfully delivered the satellites to low Earth orbit (LEO), at an altitude of about 500 miles (800 kilometers).

Western nations, including the United States, were awed at Ukraine's battalions' rapid advances and the stealth and deception that were integral to the counter-invasion's success.
