As a platform for the achievement transformation of major national scientific research projects, China Aerospace was established in December 2018, committed to space science and technology exploration and space vehicle research and development integration, transformation of technological achievements, as well as providing space launch services.

The Zhongke Aerospace Industrialization Base located in Nansha is the first commercial aerospace base with the whole industrial chain in China, filling the gap in the aerospace manufacturing industry in Guangzhou. The total planning of the base covers an area of 600 mu, and the future base is expected to achieve an annual output of 30 rockets after completion.

On July 27, 2022, the first flight of Lijian No. 1 "Six stars with one arrow" was a complete success, breaking through six major key technologies and 13 technologies used for the first time in China;

On June 7, 2023, the Lijian 1 Yao-2 carrier rocket successfully launched "26 stars in one arrow", breaking the highest record of more than one arrow in China, and entering the first half of China's aerospace report card;

The launch success rate is 100%, opening a new era of low-cost rocket and flight launch.

Huang Pei, chief designer of China Aerospace, said: "The Lijian 1 carrier rocket has been successfully launched three times in a row. The Lijian 2 carrier rocket is a medium-sized liquid launch vehicle that the company is developing.

It is characterized by reusable launch vehicles. At present, we are working on key technologies. We plan to achieve the first flight in 2025 and complete the recovery of the rocket stage and booster in 2027."

"Zhongke Space Flight Science and Technology Industrialization Base is mainly used to carry out production, testing, assembly testing and other work of serial solid and liquid launch vehicles." China Aerospace vice general manager Li Qinfeng introduced.

From the successful zero breakthrough of the first flight of Lijian 1 to the ability to assemble and test the carrier rocket with an annual output of 30 rounds, CAEROSPACE is forming a high-density and flight-oriented launch capability.

"Through mass production and lean management, China Aerospace greatly improves assembly efficiency, effectively shortens the launch cycle, and is aiming to promote the new era of China's commercial carrier rocket launch by low-cost flights." Lijian No. 1 carrier rocket deputy chief division Xiang Zebin said.

Xiang Zebin described the scenario of the flight launch, after the rocket company announced the launch date, the satellite can buy "seats" like "passengers" and hold "rocket tickets" to launch on the rocket. "At present, the 'seats' of each rocket are being sold in an orderly manner."

At that time, the suborbital vehicle to send passengers to space will be a combination of a single-stage rocket and a tourist capsule with four panoramic Windows, which can carry seven passengers on a single flight.

During the 10-minute flight, passengers will cross the 100 km altitude Karman Line and experience a sense of weightlessness free from Earth's gravity for 3 minutes. Finally, the pods will land by parachute.

As the "chain master" of the commercial space industry, the completion of the China-Science and Technology Aerospace industrialization base in Nansha announced that the first domestic lean, digital and intelligent commercial aerospace industrialization base of the whole industrial chain was put into operation,

which will drive the upstream and downstream related industrial chains such as aerospace power research and development, satellite research and development, and rocket satellite measurement and control on the scale of 100 billion to gather in Nansha.

Talking about the reasons for "settling", Li Qinfeng said that Nansha is located in the geometric center of the Greater Bay Area, convenient transportation, convenient to go to sea, and rich in industrial land, providing a very attractive platform and space for the future development of enterprises, expanding production scale and launching at sea.

"Focusing on high-quality development, we strive to build the industrial base of China Aerospace Flight Science and Technology into a world-class serialized launch vehicle industry base." Li Qinfeng said that under the guidance and support of the government,

it will give full play to the aggregation and driving effect of the "chain master" of the industrial chain, pull the upstream and downstream related aerospace enterprises to land, and build the aerospace industry into a new business card of Guangzhou.

Commercial space development is inseparable from policy support. Guo Liang, director of the Investment Promotion Service Center of the Investment Promotion Bureau of Guangzhou Nansha Economic and Technological Development Zone,

said that in order to ensure the landing and industry of key projects, Nansha District has set up a special fund for the commercial space industry of 500 million yuan, and introduced a special support policy for the commercial space industry of "Exploration nine",

and in-depth layout of the whole industrial chain of rockets, satellites and applications. Strive to build Nansha District into a commercial space industry highland in the Greater Bay Area.
