After entering orbit and completing on-orbit testing, it will be connected to the Beidou satellite navigation system.
Compared with the previous MEO network satellites, this group of satellites has further upgraded their functional performance in terms of global short message communication capacity, satellite-borne atomic clock technology, and payload intelligence. After being connected to the network, the reliability and service performance of the Beidou system will be further improved. , is of great significance to support the stable operation and large-scale application of the system, and lays the foundation for the design of the next generation of Beidou satellites.
The Beidou navigation satellite and supporting launch vehicle launched this time were jointly developed by the China Academy of Space Technology and the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, both affiliated to China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.
