China launches Yaogan‑45 reconnaissance satellite during two‑launch 24‑hour surge China launched two rockets within 24 hours, placing a Yaogan‑45 satellite into orbit. State‑owned CASC says the payload is for "scientific experiments", but analysts point to its orbit and profile as indicative of a space‑intelligence reconnaissance mission, highlighting Beijing's accelerating launch cadence and on‑orbit surveillance push.
