Geespace Launches 11 Satellites with Single Rocket

On August 9, 2025, the Chinese aerospace company Geespace celebrated a significant achievement by successfully launching 11 GEESATCOM satellites into its fourth orbital plane from the waters near Rizhao in Shandong Province. All satellites have reached their intended orbits and are operating normally.

Geespace has developed, built, and manages the GEESATCOM system, which is designed for testing satellite IoT and inter-satellite communication for various applications, including smart connected vehicles, marine fishing, construction equipment, low-altitude aviation, emergency communication, logistics and transportation, public infrastructure, as well as sectors like energy, water conservation, agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry, along with Earth observation for ecological and environmental monitoring.

The recent launch boosted the constellation from 30 to 41 satellites in a 600 km orbit. In just two months, this number is expected to soar to 64, ensuring seamless real-time global data coverage (excluding the polar regions) and offering commercial IoT satellite communication services to users around the world.

Building on its international reach and open collaboration model, Geespace works with telecom operators in more than 20 countries across key regions including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America. POC testings confirm the constellation’s high reliability, with a 99.15% communication success rate and 99.97% network availability.

Strengthening its regional presence, Geespace partnered with Oman’s Azyan Telecom in 2024 to deliver GEESATCOM services across the Middle East and Africa, starting with marine fisheries. In April 2025, an MoU with Saudi Arabia’s ATSS set the stage for deploying solutions in smart cities, intelligent transport, and IoT under Saudi Vision 2030. Collaboration with Morocco’s Soremar, which dominates over 80% of the local maritime market, will further advance applications in transport, energy, and agriculture throughout North Africa.

As constellation deployment accelerates, Geespace aims to unite global ecosystem partners to realize large-scale, worldwide commercial adoption of low-earth-orbit satellite IoT.
