Summary
The CentiSpace-1 S14 satellite, also known as Weili Kongjian 01-08, is a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite designed to enhance Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) services by providing GNSS augmentation signals for improved accuracy and integrity. Launched on January 13, 2025, from YSLA using the Jielong-3 rocket, it has a bus configuration of WN-100 and is operated by Beijing Future Navigation Technology Co., Ltd. The satellite measures 1 meter in length with a diameter of 0.5 meters and spans 2 meters when its solar arrays are deployed. It weighs 160 kilograms both at launch and dry mass, featuring a white box-shaped structure with composite materials for specific components and aluminum alloy for the main structure. Equipped with a navigation augmentation payload and laser communication link, it communicates using L-band and S-band frequencies. The satellite employs three-axis stabilization and solar power from two deployable arrays to sustain its operations. Its mission is designed to last approximately 5 years, enhancing GNSS services as part of the CentiSpace-1 constellation.
