Chinese breakthrough in space energy: new silicon carbide technology raises U.S. concerns about possible militarization of space

 China aims to surpass NASA in "historic mission"; It is moving forward in the space race because the United States is concerned about militarization. 

China's recent advances in space technology indicate that the country may become the largest and most powerful space power in the world.

However, the United States is concerned that these breakthroughs are part of China's space warfare strategy.

Thanks to one of these breakthroughs, the Chinese space program has moved a step closer to providing lighter and more efficient energy sources with a new power switch and converter., created using third-generation semiconductor components.

According to Chinese media, a silicon carbide (SiC)-based power device developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAN) has been tested in orbit since November 2024, when the Tianzhou-8 cargo spacecraft delivered it to the Chinese space station.
