Commercial aerospace is steadily advancing at a rapid pace

The rapid development of commercial aerospace in China is bringing space tourism closer and closer. The industry generally believes that breakthroughs in core technologies, represented by reusable rockets, are the key support for accelerating the development of commercial aerospace. According to statistics, from the end of 2025 to the beginning of 2026, China's reusable rocket technology will enter a period of intensive maiden flights, with multiple reusable rockets, including Blue Arrow Aerospace's "Zhuque-3", CASC Aerospace's "Lijian-2", Interstellar Glory's "Hyperbolic-3", and Xinghe Dynamics' "Zhishenxing-1", ushering in their maiden flights.
Not only has rocket development made rapid breakthroughs, but satellite applications are also continuously expanding. At this exhibition, satellite companies such as MicroNanosky also presented their latest research and development achievements. Liu Xiaoguang, the brand director of MicroNanosky, introduced that the upcoming "All-Weather Guardian" MN200S-2 (01B) satellite is a technology benchmark satellite independently developed by the company in the field of commercial X-band phased array radar imaging. It can be widely applied in scenarios such as emergency disaster relief, maritime rights protection, homeland security, ecological monitoring, and smart city construction. It can also achieve multi-satellite high-density stacking launch, providing key technical verification and engineering practice basis for subsequent large-scale satellite networking and formation flying. "Driven by the national capacity building of low-orbit satellite Internet, MicroNanosky has embarked on mass production and low-cost satellite manufacturing."
The industry believes that China has now formed a complete commercial aerospace industry chain covering rocket development, satellite manufacturing, launch services, and ground applications, with the industrial cluster effect gradually emerging. In Beijing, the industrial pattern of "South Rockets, North Satellites" has taken shape: Yizhuang New City is building the country's first commercial aerospace common research and production base - Rocket Street. Haidian District, as the core area for "North Satellites", has gathered nearly 200 related enterprises covering commercial satellite manufacturing, testing, operation, and data applications. "On this basis, Haidian is fully promoting the construction of the 'two zones and one platform' in the Satellite Town: the pilot zone currently has more than 40 commercial aerospace enterprises gathered; the core area of the Satellite Town adjacent to the Aerospace City, covering 540,000 square meters, is expected to be completed in June 2026, with a focus on introducing satellite upstream and downstream enterprises; meanwhile, the Satellite Town plans to build a public service platform to provide various testing services for satellite integrity, components, including mechanics, thermal vacuum, and radiation resistance," introduced Duan Yeye, the contact person for the core area of the Satellite Town.
