Yesterday at 12:00 noon, the first-orbit nine-star "Geely Future Travel Constellation" was successfully launched from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center and successfully entered the scheduled orbit. This is the first time that China has successfully launched a mass-produced commercial satellite in the form of "nine-star with one arrow" from the Xichang Satellite Launch Center.
The reporter learned from Geely that the nine commercial satellites are produced and shipped from Taizhou Xingkong Zhilian Technology Co., Ltd., located in Taizhou Bay New Area. The company is a satellite factory under Geely Technology Group and is the first satellite mass production factory in China that deeply integrates aerospace manufacturing and automotive manufacturing capabilities. The satellites are highly reliable and high-performance, with a design life of 5 years. The satellite manufacturing efficiency and system reliability have reached the industry-leading level.
The construction and commercial application of low-orbit satellite constellations is the focus of commercial aerospace development. The successful launch of Jiuxing this time was used for the deployment test of the first orbital plane of Geely’s low-orbit future travel constellation. The successful entry of the first orbital Jiuxing into orbit marks the start of the construction of the world’s first "heaven-earth integrated high-precision spatiotemporal information system" space segment created by Geely Technology Group. The overall constellation deployment plan is completed in 2025, and it is expected to provide satellite data application services covering the world in 2026, which will provide strong support for intelligent manufacturing, drone transportation, smart city, smart travel and many other fields.
It is worth mentioning that one of the nine stars is named "Asian Games China Star", which is the first commercial satellite named for the Asian Games. The satellite will empower the "Smart Asian Games" with aerospace technology to provide high-precision location-based services for official vehicles, and provide users with Torch Relay tracking, autonomous driving, multi-mode communication, and the eye of space to see the Asian Games and other special services.
Xu Zhihao, CEO of Geely Technology Group, said that the application of low-orbit satellites is the main battlefield for the future development of commercial aerospace, and it is also a high ground for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements that benefits the country and the people, and has great value. The successful launch of nine satellites into orbit this time confirms the strength of China’s private commercial aerospace technology.
