Geely "Star Chain" plans to launch satellites this year and is recruiting relevant personnel on a large scale.

On March 2, according to Cailian News, Zhejiang Shikong Yudao Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Geely Technology Group, has completed the finalization and development of the first double star, which will be launched into orbit in 2020 to verify the technology and communication system. At present, the company is conducting social recruitment, involving nearly 40 positions, more than 100 people.

According to the inquiry information of the enterprise, Zhejiang Shikong Fish Road Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shikong Fish Road") is a first-class emerging strategic subsidiary of Geely Science and Technology Group, which was formally established in June 20 18 with a registered capital of 500 million yuan.

Based on Geely's global future travel strategy, the company has laid out an integrated solution of heaven and earth, and is committed to becoming the world's leading low-cost and high-reliability commercial satellite manufacturer, the world's leading satellite-based high-precision positioning service provider and the world's leading user-oriented satellite application solution provider. After development, YuDao Space-time has completed the finalization and development of the first binary star, which will be launched into orbit in 2020 to verify the technology and communication system.

According to public information, from 20 19 to 2025, China's satellite industry, represented by the state-owned Beidou satellite, has made great progress. At present, the growth rate of Beidou satellite navigation output value will remain at around 15%, and it is estimated that the scale of Beidou satellite navigation output value in China will reach 644 billion yuan by 2025.

However, in the field of commercial satellites, China's progress is a bit slow, and there are no big technology companies. Looking around the world, another rocket company, Space Exploration Technology, founded by Tesla founder elon musk is clearly ahead. On February 6th this year, Space Exploration Technology Company launched 60 "Star Chain" satellites into space. Up to now, the "Star Chain" project has launched 300 satellites in five batches.

In addition to making efforts in the traditional automobile field, in recent years, Geely Group is also actively exploring the development of science and technology. At present, Geely Technology Group, the holding company of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, owns Cao Cao Travel, Lee Tae Flying Car and other business sectors. This space-time satellite launch is another important layout of Geely Technology.

Today's automobile industry has developed from the initial manufacturing and industrial competition to the ultimate game of technology. The seemingly unrelated satellite launch is actually closely related to the initiative to control autonomous driving. High-precision map, satellite communication, satellite wireless network, etc. They will all be the main battlefields of future automobile technology wrestling. From Musk's "Star Chain Plan" to Geely's current layout, it highlights the long-term consideration of international automobile players to plan ahead.

Geely has a long way to go from a domestic brand that once liked to "put satellites" to an international automobile company that can really put satellites!
