A
satellite model of China's Tianhe Project, which aims to transfer water
via an "air corridor", is on display at the 12th China International
Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai, South China's Guangdong
Province.
By 2022, a
network of six such satellites will be formed, meaning the satellite
will revisit the Sanjiangyuan area, northwestern Qinghai province, every
hour, or 24 times a day, and provide technological support to water
vapor transportation in the air corridor.
