Geespace is a company specializing in satellite technology, established in 2018 by Zhejiang Geely Holding Group as part of its Geely Technology Group. The firm focuses on the design, deployment, and operation of LEO satellites that provide highly accurate positioning and connectivity solutions.
History
Founded to advance Geely Holding's aerospace objectives, Geespace scheduled its inaugural satellite launch for late 2020, aiming to achieve positioning precision at the centimeter scale to improve its OmniCloud platform.
In June 2022, the company deployed nine satellites, followed by an additional 11 in February 2024 and another 10 in September 2024. These launches contribute to the Geely Future Mobility Constellation, a project targeting a total of 240 satellites intended to deliver precise positioning and connectivity services aligned with Geely’s comprehensive mobility initiatives.
Technology and services
The satellites developed by Geespace are designed to be modular, robust, high-performance, and produced at scale. They support various applications including high-accuracy positioning, logistics tracking, maritime surveillance, remote sensing, and satellite communications.
Geespace’s OmniCloud platform utilizes satellite-based AI cloud technology to supply precise positioning information for managing vehicle fleets, public transit systems, ride-hailing, and ride-sharing operations. This platform seeks to improve urban traffic management and facilitate autonomous driving through AI-enabled connected infrastructure and vehicles.
Satellite constellation
The Geely Future Mobility Constellation, incorporating satellites from Geespace, plans a total deployment of 240 units. The initial stage involves 72 satellites expected to be fully operational by 2025, providing global real-time data communication capabilities. The subsequent stage will add 168 satellites to support centimeter-level positioning accuracy essential for autonomous vehicles, smart connectivity solutions, and consumer electronics.
Geespace’s primary focus is on the Chinese and Asia-Pacific regions initially, with intentions for worldwide expansion after 2026. Its satellite network will assist Geely’s automotive collaborators, including the upscale electric vehicle brand Zeekr, in advancing autonomous driving technologies.
