Shijian-20

Shijian-20 was the maiden flight of the DFH-5 ultra-high-performance satellite platform, featuring a high-thrust ion propulsion system. It will provide payload power of up to 28 Kilowatts. The satellite hosts a Ka-band of 70 Gbps high-throughput communications payload and an optical infrared laser communications terminal for downlinks with data rates of up to 4.8 Gbit/s. An experimental quantum communications payload, similar to the one on QSS (Mozi), is also reported to be on board.
