OneSpace has introduced a containerized mobile (solid) rocket launch platform. Launch preparations can be carried out in as little as 30 minutes. A major use case is the rapid launch of communication and surveillance satellites over areas of natural disaster.

I see huge wartime potential in a superpower war, if existing military sats are jammed or destroyed. Launch one quickly, achieve objective, then its likely also destroyed but it has done its part.

Wow...that was fast. Seems they will soon overtake even Qianfan satellite constellation who has been severly delayed recently, not sure when they will be back on track again. How many satellites does Geespace intend to launch for this constallation in total?
Plus do you know when next Guowang next satellite will be launch? It will soon be a month when they last launched, they seem to have been accelerating their launch schedule recently, so i thought they will keep it up for the rest of the year.
GeeSpace satellites are much smaller than the Qianfan satellites, GW satellites are the heaviest. Geespace ones are microsatellites, only around 100kg each. Qianfan ones are around 300kg each, GW ones are over 1000kg each (could be around 1500kg).
