Commercial aerospace opens up greater imaginative space

2025-07-24   

The synergy between the "tangible hand" and the "intangible hand", focusing on key core technologies to strengthen research and development, seizing opportunities of the times, and finding the right development direction, will make the commercial aerospace industry a "trendsetter" in breaking through waves. It is an industry that provides aerospace products and services in a market-oriented manner. The improved version of the Zhuque-2 carrier rocket has been successfully launched, and the "Thousand Sail Constellation" satellite network has been launched. The Hainan commercial space launch site has entered the normal launch stage... In recent years, rockets, satellites, and launch sites, which are known as the "three major components" of commercial space, have all achieved remarkable results, laying a vivid footnote to the vigorous development of the industry. This year's Government Work Report proposes to promote the safe and healthy development of emerging industries such as commercial aerospace, low altitude economy, and deep-sea technology. Currently, China's commercial aerospace industry has shifted from its initial stage to a period of rapid development, with high-frequency and low-cost commercial launches becoming the industry trend. According to relevant predictions, the size of China's commercial aerospace market will exceed 2.5 trillion yuan this year. Developing commercial aerospace can stimulate various innovative entities such as research institutions and private enterprises, fully carry out technological exploration, and continuously promote the progress of aerospace technology. Commercial aerospace is thriving, and to promote the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial innovation, the centralized layout of industries is particularly important. Beijing Yizhuang gathers over 160 aerospace companies, with 13 rocket launches and over 80 satellites in orbit by 2024. Here, there is a 'Rocket Street', from rocket and satellite manufacturing, to launch services and satellite operations, to terminal applications and services. 'The people on this street are all researching the matter of going to space'. Only by gathering the advantages of all parties to extend, supplement, and strengthen the chain can we seek innovation and change in integration, unite forces, and stimulate vitality. Commercial aerospace aims for profitability and has the characteristics of heavy assets, high risks, and long investment return cycles. Its development cannot be separated from the collaborative support of numerous factors. In recent years, Bengbu, Anhui has seized opportunities and laid out the commercial aerospace industry, attracting 16 commercial aerospace enterprises to settle in with a total investment of over 5 billion yuan. What does it rely on to break into a new track as a 'dark horse'? On the one hand, a 1 billion yuan commercial aerospace special fund has been established locally to promote industrial development, and on the other hand, platforms for school enterprise cooperation and social enterprise cooperation have been actively constructed to increase support for talent, policies, and other services. Whether it is strengthening factor guarantees, optimizing the business environment, improving laws and regulations, or clarifying quality requirements, the "tangible hand" can decisively exert its power and play a role in promoting the growth of the industry. China has the richest market demand and application scenarios in the world, which can provide a huge market for technology transformation and consumption for commercial aerospace. Looking up at the starry sky, the 117 satellites of the "Jilin-1" constellation are recording the growth and changes of crops in real time; The radar satellite of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area Aerospace Hongtu scans the coastline every 6 hours, and its accuracy in predicting typhoon paths can reach up to 100 meters... The application of technology in the sky is convenient for thousands of households on the ground. In the industrial field, commercial aerospace can provide precise data support for mineral exploration; In the field of agriculture, the "Sky, Earth, Sea" satellite network can provide massive data and assist in refined management; In disaster prevention and reduction, satellite imaging for rapid scheduling provides powerful basis for rescue decision-making. Only by strengthening innovation and honing internal skills can enterprises achieve long-term development while meeting the growing market demand. Nowadays, more and more social capital is pouring into the commercial aerospace field, and "building satellites on the assembly line" is gradually becoming a reality. From a broader perspective, any "high-precision" project requires not only short-term breakthroughs, but also long-term persistence. It must be noted that China's commercial aerospace industry started relatively late and is facing competitive pressure brought about by rapid global development. To develop commercial aerospace, only by mastering key technologies and forming core competitiveness can we gain market share and discourse power in the global aerospace field. The synergy between the "tangible hand" and the "intangible hand", focusing on key core technologies to strengthen research and development, seizing opportunities of the times, and finding the right direction of development, will make the commercial aerospace industry a "trendsetter" in breaking through waves. Some people imagine that in the near future, ordinary people can take commercial manned spacecraft for a spontaneous space travel. Dancing with stars and arrows, chasing dreams in the sky, commercial aerospace injects new strength into the construction of a space power, and will also open up greater imaginative space for the future of humanity.
