CCTV News: Gather your heart and mind, work hard and practice hard. The 2025 government work report proposes to carry out large-scale application demonstration actions for new technologies, new products and new scenarios, and promote the safe and healthy development of emerging industries such as commercial aerospace and low-altitude economy. Since the beginning of this year, my country's entire commercial aerospace industry chain has developed rapidly.

Satellites operating in space have always been complex, difficult and high-tech products that combine multiple technical means. However, with the advancement of science and technology in recent years, satellites can also achieve mass production on industrial assembly lines like automobiles in a smart factory in Nantong, Jiangsu.

Walking into a commercial aerospace unicorn company located in Nantong Development Zone, the reporter saw in the workshop that the orderly production satellites were mass-producing. The technician told reporters that they completed the closed loop in just over three years from forming a team to designing satellites, from manufacturing satellites to producing satellites in small batches, launching commercial orders to the market, completing delivery.

In recent years, with the rapid development of related technologies such as computers, data analysis, artificial intelligence, etc., there are more and more demands and application scenarios for satellite communication services. Therefore, being able to quickly manufacture a large number of satellites in batches and at low cost, and building a "low-orbit satellite constellation" after launching and launching will help solve problems such as Internet communication in underdeveloped communication areas such as deep seas, deserts, and mountainous areas.

Technical personnel told reporters that the two generations of satellites manufactured by the company have been launched, and the third generation of "mobile phone direct-connected satellites" are under intense development.

Focus on building a highland of commercial aerospace industry with a scale of 10 billion.

As a strategic emerging industry, commercial aerospace not only brings technological breakthroughs, but also promotes the full chain development of upstream and downstream industries.

In Chizhou, Anhui, relying on a 2 billion yuan industrial fund and a minimalist approval mechanism, many domestic commercial aerospace projects have been attracted to the implementation. The local commercial aerospace industry is also building a full-industry chain ecosystem from a dense planning map.

In the workshop of a rocket production company in Chizhou, Anhui, scientific researchers are orderly equipment for the second-segment power system of the newly developed "Zhishenxing-1" liquid carrier rocket to ensure that this key equipment can be tested and verified by the end of this month.

As the first private company in China to achieve rocket entry into orbit, the company's "Zhishenxing-1" liquid carrier rocket built by the company is scheduled to make its first flight in August 2025. The company's head told reporters that the company's rapid development not only benefits from the convenience of transportation and government support, but also benefits from the local perfect industrial chain.

In the workshop of Anhui Xinghe Power Equipment Technology Co., Ltd., a "Panorama of the Commercial Aerospace Industry Chain of Chizhou City" is also the first municipal commercial aerospace industry chain map in Anhui Province. The person in charge of the local investment promotion agency told reporters that they carry out chain investment promotion and actively promote the research and development and manufacturing of low-orbit communication satellite payloads.

Focusing on the established "map" of the commercial aerospace industry, Chizhou City has clarified the list of key introduced and encouraged projects in the commercial aerospace industry and the project database for key target enterprises, accurately connect with the industry's "leading enterprises", and established a "park + scientific research institute + entrepreneurial team + venture capital institution" promotion team. At the same time, vigorously develop the production of industrial drone complete aircraft and parts, as well as the research and development and production of special functional components of aerospace engines, helping the local area to become a new highland for the development of the aerospace industry.

Five keywords look at the future development of commercial aerospace

From satellite manufacturing to rocket launch, from measurement and control services to application expansion, technological innovation and industrialization process are accelerating, my country's commercial aerospace industry chain is ushering in historic development opportunities. Experts said that my country's commercial aerospace is expected to usher in a mature period at the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan or the 16th Five-Year Plan period.

The report "Ideas and Paths for Commercial Aerospace Development" released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's CADI Research Institute recently showed that China's commercial aerospace is in a stage of rapid and healthy growth, and the entire industrial chain has achieved rapid development. my country's commercial aerospace development is roughly divided into four stages: starting stage, growth stage, maturity stage and transformation stage. Among them, the growth period is divided into the early stage of growth and the rapid and healthy growth stage. In the current stage, enterprises in the "Star Arrow Field Testing" chain have successively survived the process from "0 to 1", and it has gradually become a consensus to ensure high-quality development with high-level security.

Entering a new stage of rapid development, the application is also intruding into all walks of life. When you go out to take a taxi, the Beidou satellite navigation system provides high-precision positioning navigation; when making phone calls on your mobile phone, the communication satellite receives ground station will provide instant communication services; when doing travel strategies, clicking the mouse, remote sensing satellites can display three-dimensional real-life pictures of any corner of the earth in real time... With the comprehensive construction of low-orbit satellite constellations and the rise of the satellite data consumption market, the aerospace information industry, which integrates cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, and cloud computing, is accelerating the change of our lives.
