List of high-quality authors February 5, 2024 Following the successful launch of the first orbit of nine satellites in June 2022, the second orbital plane 11 satellites of Geely's future travel constellation were successfully launched at 7:37 on February 3 at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in the form of one arrow and 11 satellites, and all satellites successfully entered the scheduled orbit and were in normal condition. So far, Geely's future travel constellation has completed the networking and deployment of a total of 20 satellites in two orbital planes, laying a solid foundation for building an integrated travel ecology between space and earth.

Geely's Future Mobility Constellation: A New Engine for Smart Mobility.

Geely's Future Mobility Constellation is the world's first commercial integrated constellation of communication, navigation and remote sensing, which was built by Shikong Daoyu, a technological innovation enterprise under Geely Holding Group. After the completion of the constellation, it will provide users with highly reliable and low-cost communication, navigation, remote sensing and other services, and fully empower smart travel, smart city, smart agriculture and other fields.

Empowerment of the automotive business:

Intelligent navigation: Provide centimeter-level high-precision positioning services to achieve more accurate navigation and autonomous driving.

Satellite Communications: Provide all-weather, full-coverage communications services to stay connected even in remote areas.

Autonomous driving: Provide more reliable environmental awareness and decision-making capabilities, and improve the safety and reliability of autonomous driving.

Empowerment of other areas:

Smart city: Provide services such as city management, traffic management, and emergency management.

Smart agriculture: Provide farmland monitoring, precision agriculture, disaster early warning and other services.

Business Model Innovation:

On-board terminal: deeply integrated with Geely Automobile, providing users with satellite communication, high-precision positioning and other services.

Direct connection of mobile phones to satellites: Create satellite communication services for the public and expand the scope of market applications.

Future outlook: Geely's future mobility constellation is expected to complete the deployment of the first phase of 72 satellites in 2025, which will provide global real-time data communication services. The second phase of the constellation will be expanded to 168 satellites to achieve global centimeter-level high-precision positioning services. The construction of Geely's future mobility constellation will have a transformative impact on smart mobility, smart city and other fields, and help the development of China's commercial aerospace industry.

Here are some details to keep an eye on:

Spacetime Daoyu has built a satellite super factory, which can achieve a daily output of one satellite, an annual output of 500 satellites, and the production cost has been reduced by about 45%.

Geely's future mobility constellation has been applied on a large scale in a variety of models, including ZEEKR 001FR, Geely Galaxy E8, etc.

During the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, Geely Future Mobility Constellation will provide high-precision positioning services for more than 2,000 officially designated vehicles for the Asian Games. Spacetime Daoyu has demonstrated its self-developed 22nm communication chip that supports mobile phones to directly connect to satellites, and is ready to expand the scope of market applications.

Conclusion: The construction of Geely's future mobility constellation is another major breakthrough in the field of scientific and technological innovation of Geely Holding Group, and it is also an important measure to build an integrated travel ecology of space and earth. In the future, Geely's Future Mobility Constellation will provide users with better services and contribute to the development of China's commercial aerospace industry.
