CentiSpace-2 S6 (Weili Kongjian 02-6), one of ten satellites launched together March 25, 2026 aboard a Jielong-3 rocket from a converted barge in the Yellow Sea — the tenth flight of this Chinese solid-fuel rocket, with every single launch since its 2022 debut succeeding. This satellite contributes sharper positioning correction signals feeding directly into autonomous driving trials across China, where centimeter-level accuracy is treated as a prerequisite rather than a luxury for self-driving cars navigating dense urban traffic.
