China's new commercial aerospace track continues to be active, with significant synergy between policy and industrial chain

CCTV News (News Network): Since the beginning of this year, a series of policy measures have continued to make efforts, and China’s new commercial aerospace track has become more active and full of vitality.

Not long ago, Zhuque-3 successfully achieved my country's first controlled land-based recovery of an orbit-class launch vehicle. The success of Zhuque 3 is a concentrated debut of China's commercial space system. Behind the success is a collaborative network of nearly 700 companies across the country. The main body of the engine is produced in Huzhou, Zhejiang, the stainless steel rocket body is produced in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and the landing legs are produced in Guanghan, Sichuan.

A series of national support policies have provided new momentum for the new commercial aerospace track. This year, the Long March 10B completed the world's first launch vehicle network recovery at sea, the world's largest solid rocket Gravity 1 launched into the sea for the first time, and Galaxy Aerospace realized the first export of entire satellites by a Chinese commercial aerospace company to Southeast Asia. This company responsible for the development of rocket recovery grid rudders originally focused on ship accessories. Seeing the broad prospects of commercial aerospace, the company relied on years of accumulation in the manufacturing industry to become a supplier of rocket parts.

In 2025, my country's commercial aerospace industry will complete 50 launches, accounting for 54% of the total number of aerospace launches; 311 commercial satellites will be put into orbit, accounting for 84% of the total number. The "15th Five-Year Plan" outline lists aerospace as an emerging pillar industry. The state has established a dedicated agency to coordinate the development of commercial aerospace and accelerate the implementation of the national three-year action roadmap for commercial aerospace.
