These satellites are part of the Geesatcom constellation. The low-orbit communication constellation can enable direct satellite connection for automotive autonomous driving, intelligent internet connection, smartphones and other consumer electronic products. Geesatcom in June 2024 completed its first commercial...
— China launches latest group of Yaogan 35 spy satellites The geostationary belt is very useful for a range of applications, as satellites orbiting there move in sync with Earth's rotation, making them appear fixed in the sky over the planet. This orbit is thus very useful for providing con...
