Commercial space flight accelerates Beijing's deepening of the development pattern of "South Arrow and North Star"

2024-03-12

Since the beginning of this year, the news of Beijing's construction of "Rocket Street" has attracted attention. The Rocket Street project located in the southern Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone (referred to as "Yizhuang") will start construction in April, adding a new chapter to the commercial aerospace industry ecosystem in Beijing. The 2024 government work report proposes to vigorously promote the construction of a modern industrial system and accelerate the development of new quality productive forces; Actively cultivating emerging and future industries; Actively building new growth engines such as biological manufacturing, commercial aerospace, and low altitude economy. China's commercial aerospace has been developing for nearly 10 years. Beijing is the birthplace of China's aerospace industry, as well as the birthplace and main battlefield of China's commercial aerospace industry. After several years of efforts, it has to some extent developed a relatively complete industrial ecology and development elements, forming a thriving "South Arrow and North Star" layout, namely Yizhuang and Daxingju commercial rocket research and development manufacturing enterprises, forming a "South Arrow" industrial cluster; Haidian District has gathered numerous commercial satellite manufacturing, testing, operation and control enterprises, forming a "North Star" industrial cluster. Nowadays, relying on a favorable innovation and entrepreneurship environment and industrial ecology, Beijing Yizhuang has gathered more than 50 aerospace enterprises, with over 75% of private rocket and rocket development enterprises landing in the country, and has achieved multiple "firsts" in the commercial aerospace field. In this context, the Yizhuang New City Sky Block and the Beijing Rocket Street Commercial Aerospace Research and Production Base have emerged. Yizhuang has released an urban plan for a 165 hectare sky block, focusing on modern industry city integration and meeting the needs of the "aerospace+" industry development, to create an international commercial aerospace city; The Rocket Street project has a total construction scale of 150000 square meters and is expected to be put into use by the end of 2025. It will set up four functional zones, including a common technology platform and a high-end manufacturing center, and build the first commercial aerospace common scientific research and production base in the country, providing strong support for the innovative development of commercial aerospace. Blue Arrow Aerospace, located in Yizhuang, is a witness and participant in the preparation of the Beijing Rocket Street project, and will also be a beneficiary. The person in charge of Blue Arrow Aerospace mentioned that with the landing of the project, the company's own testing and launch facilities are also planned to be included in the scope of the Rocket Street shared testing platform. "We look forward to the completion of the project, relying on the complete scientific research and production infrastructure of Rocket Street, which will accelerate the development process of our reusable launch vehicles.". Blue Arrow Aerospace was established in 2015, and after 9 years of development, it has the ability to build a complete domestic aerospace production chain. On January 19, 2024, the reusable vertical takeoff and landing recovery verification rocket independently developed by Blue Arrow Aerospace ignited and took off at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China, verifying the key technology for the first stage vertical return of the Zhuque 3 large liquid oxygen methane reusable rocket. "This year's government work report first mentioned commercial aerospace, which can be said to be a new type of productivity." Zhang Changwu, founder of Blue Arrow Aerospace, said that the company will continue to increase research and development investment, ensure that technology and products meet market demand, and maintain its leading position in the industry. At the same time, strengthening international cooperation and enhancing the international influence of China's commercial aerospace. The Action Plan for Accelerating Commercial Aerospace Innovation and Development in Beijing (2024-2028) released in January this year (referred to as the "Plan") states that Beijing
