At 7:37 a.m. Beijing time on February 3, 2024, China held a grand space launch ceremony at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center, using the Long March-2C carrier rocket to successfully launch the Geely Constellation 02 group of satellites. In this launch mission, 11 satellites successfully entered the scheduled orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success. This indicates that China's aerospace industry has made important progress in the construction of constellation networking.
Geely Constellation 02 Satellite Group is the first satellite constellation project led by a private enterprise in China, which has received strong support from relevant state departments. The 11 satellites launched this time, including 9 operational satellites and 2 test satellites, will be used to build a comprehensive information service system for communication, navigation, remote sensing and other information services of the Geely constellation. This system will provide more efficient and convenient satellite services for users in China and around the world, and contribute to the country's economic and social development.
This mission is the 508th flight of the Long March family of launch vehicles. As a mature carrier rocket in China, the Long March-2C carrier rocket has made great achievements in China's aerospace industry. The complete success of this launch mission not only demonstrates the continuous improvement of China's rocket carrying capacity, but also demonstrates the exquisite skills and responsibility of Chinese astronauts.
The successful launch of the Geely Constellation 02 group of satellites means that China has made an important breakthrough in the construction of constellation networking. Constellation networking is the development trend of the aerospace field in the world today, which is of great significance for improving the country's aerospace strength and promoting scientific and technological innovation. China attaches great importance to the development of the aerospace industry, and actively promotes the exploration and practice of commercial aerospace and private aerospace. The Geely Constellation project is a product of this policy guidance, which is expected to promote China's aerospace industry to a new height.
In the future, China will continue to increase investment in aerospace, promote the rapid development of the satellite application industry, and provide better aerospace services for the masses. At the same time, China will also strengthen cooperation with the international community in the field of space, jointly explore the mysteries of the universe, and make greater contributions to mankind's space industry.
In short, the successful launch of the Geely Constellation 02 group of satellites is an important milestone in China's aerospace industry. Let us be proud of the hard work and outstanding achievements of our astronauts, and cheer for the prosperity and development of our aerospace industry! On the journey of the new era, let us work together, continue to create new brilliance, and work hard to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
