China successfully launched a group of 10 satellites into orbit from the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center in north China's Shanxi Province on Friday.
Carried by a Long March-6 carrier rocket, the Geely-03 constellation consisting of 10 satellites was lifted at 2:30 a.m. (Beijing Time) from the launch site and entered their preset orbit.
Friday's mission also marks the 534th flight of the Long March rocket series, underscoring the crucial role this rocket family plays in China's expanding space program.
Owned by GeeSpace, a subsidiary of Geely Technology Group, the Geely-03 satellites are part of the "Geely Future Mobility Constellation" project, the world's first commercial integrated constellation for communication, navigation and remote sensing.
The constellation will consist of 240 satellites, with 72 planned for deployment by 2025 in the first phase, according to the company's plan.
Through the construction of this future travel constellation, a new technological ecosystem will be created, offering full coverage through multi-dimensional carriers such as automobiles and consumer electronics. This will enable advancements in smart travel, unmanned systems, smart cities and more, the company said.
