Chinese Lunar New Year Celebrations and Consumption Promotion
The Spring Festival, also known as the Chinese Lunar New Year, is a time of great significance in Chinese culture. During this holiday, people come together with their families and friends, exchanging gifts and participating in various traditions. Moreover, cultural and entertainment activities such as dragon and lion dances, setting off firecrackers and fireworks, attending temple fairs, and admiring lantern displays are also widely enjoyed during this festive time. The week-long holiday provides an opportunity for people to travel to different places, contributing to a peak season of consumption in food and drinks, clothing, entertainment, travel, and more. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce designated 2024 as the ‘Year of Consumption Promotion,’ aiming to enhance efforts to promote consumption during the Spring Festival, which lasts for eight days from February 10 to February 17 this year.

US Space Force to Establish Orbital Filling Stations for Satellite Refueling
The US Space Force is looking to establish orbital filling stations for its satellites, aiming to extend their mission life by refueling them in orbit. Northrop Grumman’s Passive Refueling Module (PRM) has been selected by the Space Force as the preferred model to set the standard for refueling satellites in orbit within the Space Systems Command (SSC). Satellites, with their high construction and launch costs, require propellant to function. Despite efforts to maximize their lifespan, the need for propellant remains a limiting factor. Many satellites require propellant to maintain their orientation, adjust orbits, and ensure operational efficiency. As a result, after a few years, satellites can become obsolete due to fuel depletion, despite being in good condition. To address this issue, companies like Northrop Grumman have been developing in-orbit servicing modules. These robotic spacecraft can dock with satellites running low on fuel, providing them with supplemental propulsion, new power sources, and even conducting minor repairs. The Space Force is particularly interested in this technology, as military satellites require frequent orbital shifts for various operational needs, making propulsion a critical asset. Refueling satellites in orbit presents challenges, requiring standardization to ensure compatibility between servicing modules and visiting satellites. This need for standardization has been a longstanding issue in space exploration, dating back to the Apollo Soyuz mission in 1975, which required a common docking mechanism for US and USSR spacecraft. The development of orbital filling stations and standardized refueling technology holds promise for extending the operational lifespan of satellites, offering a cost-effective solution for maintaining and enhancing satellite capabilities in orbit.
