2025On April 30, 2024, at the Dongfeng Landing Site in Inner Mongolia, China — at 13:08 today, the Shenzhou 19 manned spacecraft's return capsule successfully landed in the eastern area of the Dongfeng Landing Site. Astronauts Cai Xuzhe, Song Lingdong, and Wang Haoze all exited the capsule safely, marking another significant breakthrough for China's manned space program. Xinhua News Agency achieved a full-process high-definition live broadcast of the landing, ground handling, and astronaut exit using the LiveU LU600 5G wireless transmission system in the extreme conditions of the Gobi Desert. Global audiences witnessed this historic moment in real-time through the live broadcast signal and on-site reporters.
Minimalist design + exceptional stability: LiveU solves the challenges of Gobi live streaming.
The Dongfeng landing site is located in the northwest Gobi Desert, where sandstorms, high temperatures, and complex terrain pose severe challenges to live broadcasting equipment. The LiveU LU600, with its "lightweight body + military-grade protection" design, has become the preferred solution for the Xinhua News Agency's live broadcasting team:
• Portable and Lightweight: The device weighs only 2.2 kilograms, making it easy to carry across sand dunes. Journalists can set up and adjust it with one hand, greatly enhancing on-site mobility;
• Multi-Link Aggregation: Integrates 5G/4G/satellite/wired networks, enabling stable transmission of 4K quality in areas with weak signals through LiveU's patented HEVC encoding technology;
• Interference Resistance: Equipped with a built-in high-sensitivity antenna and intelligent error correction algorithm, effectively resisting strong electromagnetic interference, ensuring zero lag and zero interruptions throughout the live broadcast.
According to feedback from the on-site technical team, during the crucial 30 minutes from the landing of the capsule to the astronauts exiting, the LiveU equipment continuously provided a stable signal, presenting clear and stunning visuals of moments such as the "opening of the hatch" and the "display of the national flag" to a global audience, becoming the "technical backbone" of this live broadcast.
From emergency rescue to aerospace live broadcasting: LiveU technology becomes more accessible.
This is not LiveU's first appearance in national-level live broadcasts. In March 2025, during a strong earthquake in Myanmar, LiveU equipment accompanied a CCTV team into the disaster area, completing 10 high-definition live broadcasts within 72 hours, providing real-time visual support for international rescue efforts. In this transition to the Shenzhou 19 recovery mission, LiveU further validated the inclusive value of its technology:
• Scene transfer: From disaster relief to aerospace engineering, the equipment only needs to adjust the antenna angle and signal pattern to adapt to extreme environments;
• Cost Advantage: Compared to traditional satellite trucks, the LiveU solution saves over 80% in deployment costs, reducing expenses and increasing efficiency for media organizations;
• Open ecosystem: Supports integration with devices such as drones and AR glasses, with potential for expansion to more aerospace mission scenarios in the future.
Whether it's the sandstorms of the Gobi Desert or the ruins in the earthquake-stricken areas of Myanmar, LiveU consistently provides a 'plug-and-play' experience that allows professional live broadcasting to transcend physical boundaries. The live broadcast of Shenzhou 19 marks an important step towards our goal of 'integrated live broadcasting across land and sky.'
Let the world see every frame of China's aerospace.
From the "Shenzhou" flying to the heavens to the "Chang'e" capturing the moon, every breakthrough in China's space industry is inseparable from technological iteration and innovation. This time, Xinhua News Agency used LiveU to complete the full live broadcast of the Shenzhou 19 return capsule landing, not only presenting a "textbook-level" space broadcast to global audiences but also marking the deep integration of China's satellite internet with LiveU technology. In the future, LiveU will continue to explore the infinite possibilities of "live broadcasting + space," allowing the world to witness every step of China's exploration of the universe.
