As an important layout entity of Geely Holding Group in the commercial aerospace field, Spacetime Daoyu is taking the deep integration of “communications + travel” as its strategic core to promote China’s commercial aerospace to go global.
Today let’s talk about: China’s top 10 commercial aerospace companies going overseas—④ Shitong Daoyu.

Time and space Daoyu
Spacetime Daoyu was established in 2018, focusing on the three major areas of constellation business, satellite manufacturing, and satellite applications, and is planning to build a global low-orbit communication constellation “Geely Future Travel Constellation.”

Geely’s future travel constellation
Geely’s future travel constellation is constructed in three phases: the first phase deploys 72 satellites to provide medium and low-speed satellite communication services to 200 million+ users around the world; the second phase plans 264 direct-connect satellites for mobile phones to support direct-connect communications for existing mobile phones and provides global commercial services; the third phase plans 5,676 communication satellites to provide global commercial low-orbit broadband communication services. At present, Spacetime Daoyu has completed the deployment of 30 in-orbit satellites in three orbital planes, achieving 24-hour coverage of 90% of the world, and officially provides satellite communication services to overseas users. This is the first time that a Chinese commercial aerospace enterprise has provided low-orbit satellite communication services to global users.

Overseas communication test
In June 2024, Spacetime Daoyu completed the first overseas communication commercial deployment test of Geely’s future travel constellation in Oman. This is the first time that my country’s commercial low-orbit satellite constellation has implemented satellite communication applications overseas. During the test, the communication success rate reached 99.15%, and the network availability exceeded 99.97%. The satellite terminal has 50dB anti-interference capability and can stably receive signals in complex electromagnetic environments.

Overseas cases
Malaysia: On April 18, 2025, Spacetime Daoyu and Malaysian communications service provider Altel Group Sdn. Bhd officially announced the establishment of a joint venture telecommunications business operating company in Kuala Lumpur. This is the first time that Spacetime Daoyu has invested in and operated an overseas telecommunications company, laying out the Southeast Asian market and promoting the large-scale application of low-orbit satellite constellations. Saudi Arabia: In April 2025, Spacetime Daoyu and the Middle East satellite communications company Advanced Telecommunications Solutions and Services officially signed a memorandum of understanding in Riyadh. The two parties will carry out in-depth cooperation around the policy access, commercial testing and application promotion of Geely’s future mobility constellation in Saudi Arabia, and comprehensively promote its implementation and development in the Middle East. Morocco: In April 2025, Spacetime Daoyu officially signed a memorandum of understanding with Soremar Group, a well-known Moroccan enterprise, in Casablanca. The two parties will jointly promote the implementation and commercial application of Geely’s future mobility constellation satellite communication services in Morocco and North Africa.

Enter the international market
While accelerating the deployment of satellite constellations, Spacetime Daoyu actively expands overseas cooperation networks and builds a global satellite communication service system. Its international layout has gradually extended from single communication services to industrial cooperation, terminal sales and localized operations, forming an integrated overseas model of “constellation + terminal + service”. At present, Spacetime Daoyu has achieved preliminary results in key regions such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa, and plans to further promote the full implementation of commercial services for Geely’s future travel constellations in other Middle Eastern countries and North African markets in 2025, accelerating the large-scale construction and application promotion of global low-orbit satellite communication networks.
