The Blue Guardian project focuses on ocean cleanup and the protection of marine life. It uses high-level remote sensing AI satellites that were independently developed and designed by Geely Holding’s GeeSpace, its aerospace arm. The satellites will be used to locate and identify various types of marine waste including plastic buildup and floating garbage, oil spills, and even areas where an imbalance in the ecosystem has resulted in unnatural overgrowths of sea algae and moss.

The satellite data platform released this time was jointly developed by Geely Holding, ZEEKR Intelligent Technology, and China Environmental Protection Foundation ("CEPF") based on the monitoring data from Geely Future Mobility Constellation, the first nine satellites GeeSpace launched into low earth orbit in June this year.

The ocean remote sensing data and satellite technology generated by the project will be opened to academic institutions, scientific research institutions, environmental departments, and other professional departments through the platform.
