Shanghai Securities News China Securities Network (reporter, Yu Liyan) our country recently used the Long March II C carrier rocket at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center to successfully launch the Geely Constellation 02 group of satellites, 11 satellites successfully entered the predetermined orbit, and the launch mission was a complete success.
According to a person from Geely, as China’s first technology-based enterprise that "builds cars and stars with one hand", Geely Future Travel Constellation has always been known as "China’s version of Space X". Geely’s original intention is to create a world-leading technology ecosystem.
In terms of planning and layout, in early 2021, Geely launched the development of the "Geely Future Travel Constellation" through Geely’s Spacetime Daoyu, and completed the design, production, and large-scale system planning and mass production of satellites. At present, the construction progress of Geely Future Travel Constellation has reached 27.8%. In addition to the basic functions of Space X star chain, Geely Future Travel Constellation also supports "two-way satellite communication", which can achieve multiple functions with only one satellite.
Geely’s "heaven and earth integrated commercial version map" is highly malleable, and satellite functions are applied to its own models in the key "satellite product direct connection" system. At present, Geely’s Polar Krypton 001FR, Polar Krypton 007 and Geely Galaxy E8 all support satellite communication, which can achieve "never lose contact". For vehicles, satellite communication systems can achieve centimeter-level high-precision in-vehicle navigation and positioning, which will significantly empower the development of autonomous driving technology.
Geely researchers introduced that if the satellite communication system can be popularized, it can achieve "no blind spots" coverage, including inaccessible no-man’s land. Taking the Geely Galaxy E8 model as an example, not only can global positioning be achieved through satellite communication links, but also functions such as emergency alarm and vehicle status data collection and reporting. During the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, Geely provided high-precision positioning services to 2,000 officially designated vehicles of the Hangzhou Asian Organizing Committee through satellite, taking the lead in opening the "satellite era" in the automotive field.
In addition to "satellite product direct connection", Geely also has the computing power empowered by Geely Xingrui Smart Computing Center. Xingrui Smart Computing Center is the first "cloud, data and intelligence" integrated platform for global car companies. This computing power reaches 8.10 billion billion times per second, which increases Geely’s overall R & D efficiency by 20%. Based on this platform, Geely released "the first full-stack self-developed full-scenario AI model in the automotive industry" – Xingrui AI, which further deepens Geely’s advantages of "satellite product direct connection".
