China has successfully launched a group of 10 Geely-03 satellites into orbit from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in Shanxi Province on Friday. The mission, carried out by a Long March-6 carrier rocket, marks the 534th flight of the Long March series, highlighting the rocket family's pivotal role in China's expanding space endeavors.
The Geely-03 constellation, owned by GeeSpace—a subsidiary of Geely Technology Group—is part of the \"Geely Future Mobility Constellation\" project. This initiative is the world's first commercial integrated constellation designed for communication, navigation, and remote sensing.
Looking ahead, the constellation aims to comprise 240 satellites, with an initial phase deploying 72 satellites by 2025. This ambitious plan seeks to build a comprehensive technological ecosystem that integrates multi-dimensional carriers such as automobiles and consumer electronics. The advancements are set to drive innovations in smart travel, unmanned systems, and smart cities, fostering a new era of connectivity and efficiency.
