The satellites were built by CAS Microspace and feature a Ka-band communications payload. The purpose of the alpha phase test satellites is to assess the Ka-band mobile communication environment adaptability, the verification of Ka-band LEO satellites to GEO satellite interference suppression technology, and the orbital evaluation of commercial-grade electronic components to achieve low-cost long life.
