Automotive innovation takes a giant leap as China‘s Geely Holding Group makes headlines with its latest venture into space technology. This past Saturday, the company, known for its bold strides in the auto industry, announced the successful launch of 11 low-earth orbit satellites. This marks Geely‘s second significant foray into the cosmos, aiming to revolutionize how we navigate and connect, not just on the road but in various sectors of our digital lives.
By 2025, the company plans to launch 72 satellites
From the Xichang Satellite Launch Center in Sichuan, these satellites soared into the sky, signaling Geely’s ambition to stitch a high-tech canopy overhead. By 2025, the company envisions a constellation of 72 satellites, with long-term goals stretching to 240. These aren’t just any satellites; they’re equipped with AI and capable of delivering crisp remote sensing images from space, promising to redefine precision in autonomous driving and beyond.
The move is not just a leap for Geely but a significant stride for China’s burgeoning private space sector. Since opening its doors to private investment in 2014, China has seen a surge in commercial space ventures. Geely’s satellite network, although ambitious, is part of a larger narrative of innovation and competition in the heavens above.
As these satellites orbit overhead, they offer more than just advanced navigation for self-driving cars. They promise enhanced connectivity for consumer electronics, painting a picture of a future where our cars, phones, and devices are more interconnected than ever.
