10On October 4, 1957, in a large desert of Kazakhstan , the Soviet Union sent the world's first artificial earth satellite Sputnik-1 into space. This sphere with a diameter of 58 cm and a weight of 83.6kg declares that mankind has entered a new era of aerospace. After this, humans made great strides into space. After the Soviet Union, the United States, France and Japan, China also launched its first artificial satellite " Dongfanghong-1 ".
In current society, artificial satellites have become the most invisible but most important infrastructure. They can process a large amount of information at the same time and transmit it to any corner of the world in a timely manner. They are widely used in science, communication, military, meteorological, navigation and other fields. They are doing the most mechanical movements in space, but they have brought about subversive changes to the way humans communicate.
Today, artificial satellites have changed from a space race between countries to a business in the commercial society. Tesla CEO O Elon Musk founded the space exploration technology company SpaceX in 2002, and announced the " Starlink " plan in January 2015 - 12,000 communication satellites will be launched into low-Earth orbit between 2019 and 2024. The other two billionaires - Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson, have also started the space commercial tourism competition.

It runs through China's largest desert, known as the "Sea of Death", - Taklamakan Desert , which runs from north to south. The completion of highways plays an important role in accelerating the exploration and development of oil and gas in the Tarim Basin and promoting the development of Xinjiang.
Today, this highway is also called the " zero carbon " highway. In 2005, in order to prevent quicksand erosion, the Tarim Oilfield built a shelterbelt of 436 kilometers long and more than 70 meters wide on both sides of the desert highway, and used diesel engines to generate electricity and pump water to irrigate the shelterbelt. However, due to the large amount of carbon emissions caused by diesel engine power generation, photovoltaic power generation irrigation began to be piloted in 2010. In June 2022, photovoltaic power generation will completely replace diesel engine power generation, and this highway has a new title - "Zero Carbon Desert Highway".
