CRIS-2.0 costs roughly one third of what the U.S. GOES-16 program spends on comparable space-weather capabilities. The disparity stems from design reuse, domestic supply chains and a policy push to recycle launch hardware, which together shrink both capital outlay and long-term operations. In 2024, the Chinese government allocated
