CentiSpace-1 S4, launched alongside S3 in the constellation's second research phase, contributed real orbital data proving that LEO-based navigation augmentation genuinely works — Chinese researchers later measured that adding just this satellite's signal to a standard multi-GNSS position fix cut the time needed to reach centimeter-level precision by over 17%, a meaningful improvement for applications like autonomous vehicles that can't afford to wait minutes for a precise lock.
