What will the normalization of launches at Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site bring?
2024-12-02
On the evening of November 30th, the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site successfully completed its first launch mission, verifying that China's first commercial space launch site has the ability to conduct regular launches in hardware, software, personnel, and other aspects. As a global strategic emerging industry, commercial aerospace is developing rapidly. In recent years, many commercial rocket and satellite companies have emerged in China. The formal operation of commercial space launch sites has made the development chain of commercial space more complete. Fan Ruixiang, an academician of the CAS Member and rocket expert of China Aerospace Science and Technology Group, said that the formation of a closed-loop chain of commercial aerospace will promote the high-quality development of China's commercial aerospace, promote technological innovation and cultivate new quality productivity. It is reported that the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site has built two liquid rocket launch stations, the first and second, with an annual designed launch capacity of 32 rounds. Hainan International Commercial Space Launch Co., Ltd. is extensively liaising with domestic commercial rocket and satellite companies to discuss future launch cooperation. After continuous adaptation and optimization, the launch site is expected to achieve full load operation in a few years. Normalization of launches can achieve frequent "satellite launches". With the formation and continuous enhancement of launch capability and the improvement of rocket delivery capability, satellite Internet will help more people improve their production and life in the future. Shou Junming, the head of the Launch Division of Hainan International Commercial Space Launch Co., Ltd., said that for ordinary consumers, connecting their mobile phones to satellites for internet access is not limited by space and geographical conditions. At the same time, there will be more application scenarios in commercial communication, meteorology, surveying, navigation, and other fields. The normalization of commercial space launches will not only give rise to new business models and scenarios downstream, but also drive the development of upstream industrial chains such as commercial rocket and satellite manufacturing, on-board electronic products, and fuel propellants. The commercial space launch site in Hainan continues to release its appeal, with numerous commercial rocket and satellite companies coming to inspect and build factories one after another. Half a month ago, the Star Glory carrier rocket assembly, testing, and reuse factory project started in Wenchang, aiming to build the production capacity for carrier rocket assembly, testing, and reuse. The high-frequency launch of commercial aerospace will also bring development dividends to the area where the launch site is located. In recent years, relying on rocket launches, Wenchang in Hainan has actively created a new travel experience that integrates aerospace, food, and tourism, allowing tourists to experience the beauty of Wenchang from multiple perspectives. On the afternoon of November 30th, vehicles from all over the country were parked around the commercial space launch site in Hainan. Tourists gather here to witness the exciting moment of launch. Nearby shops also opened early, and nearby villagers set up stalls, creating a lively scene on site. Wang Ruoqi, a fourth grade elementary school student, flew to Haikou with his mother on November 29th and arrived in Wenchang as soon as possible after landing to "scout" for the rocket launch. This is my first time watching a launch live, it's much more shocking than watching it online! "Wang Ruoqi said. The mother and son also plan to travel to Wenchang and participate in aerospace science popularization research activities. Liu Hongjian, General Manager of Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Co., Ltd., stated that high-frequency launches will provide more possibilities for the "aerospace+" industry. In the future, the entrepreneurial and employment opportunities for local residents will be even broader. (New Society)
