In a piece titled “World Trend of Space Exploitation”, the newspaper described satellite launches by China, India, and Egypt, calling peaceful space exploitation for shared prosperity a world trend.

The article provided details of China’s launch of Beidou-52, Beidou-53, and Gaofen-12, a new Earth observation satellite. It also looked at the launch of India’s Kartosat-3, capable of high-definition imaging, and Egypt’s first telecommunications satellite Tiba-1.

According to the Rodong Sinmun, space exploitation, formerly done exclusively by a few developed countries, is now engaging in many others.
