GeeSAT 1 [Geespace]
GeeSAT 1 is a Chinese private navigation augmentation system satellite constellation developed by Geespace, a subsidiary of the Zhejiang Geely Holding Group.
These satellites will be providing centimeter-level positioning services to terminals on the ground, notably in automotive, marine or UAV applications. They will also provide cloud and data processing services to the aforementioned industries.
The first pair of prototype satellites, GeeSAT-1 01 and 02, was launched in December 2021 on a Kuaizhou-1A rocket from Jiuquan, but failed to reach orbit.
Nine more were successfully launched in June 2022 on a CZ-2C (3).
63 more satellites are planned for the initial constellation.
Note: The exact designation and numbering is not yet known.
