In the field of domestic commercial aerospace, the entire industry chain covering star and rocket manufacturing, launching, telemetry, satellite applications, etc. is currently entering a key phase of concentrated output. With large investments and new projects continuously landing, the scale effect is driving the development of Chinese commercial aerospace, forming a number of distinctive commercial aerospace industry clusters. In Beijing, the first batch of more than 30 companies have settled on "Rocket Street," covering various processes such as rocket assembly, engine development, and satellite manufacturing. It is estimated that by the end of this year, the number of resident employees will reach about a thousand; at a satellite assembly workshop in Nantong, Jiangsu, a pulse production line is in operation, and the manufacturing cycle for a satellite here can be as fast as 3 days; in Chengdu, Sichuan, a complete aerospace industry chain system from satellite manufacturing, launch services, ground equipment to satellite operation services has been formed. Data shows that in 2025, China will launch 92 space missions, a 35% increase from 2024. Among them, 50 commercial space launches, with over 310 commercial satellites in orbit, setting a new historical record, with launch frequency and quality steadily increasing.
