The satellite Xinglian–Tianyi Space-developed "Xinglian Tianyuan YG01" has entered its planned orbit, marking the launch of Wuxi's Tianyuan constellation.

Xinglian says satellite development will fully start in 2026, mass deployment and commercial rollout are planned for 2027, phase-one network completion is targeted for 2028, with replenishment/upgrades beginning in 2029 and progression to a Thousand-Star Plan thereafter.
