Based on the Xi'an Aerospace Base, we will build a core area for the innovative development of the commercial aerospace industry cluster in our province. Leveraging the innovation resources of research institutes such as the Fourth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology, the Sixth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology, the Xi'an Branch of the Fifth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology, and the 16th Research Institute of the Ninth Academy of Aerospace Science and Technology, as well as key enterprises, we will strengthen the tackling of key core technologies and the development of cutting-edge application technologies, and build a commercial aerospace industry innovation center, a common technology research and development center, a pilot and testing center, a professional talent introduction and cultivation center, an industrial incubation and financial center, and an innovation and entrepreneurship center.

 Wings

With Baoji High-tech Industrial Development Zone and Tongchuan High-tech Industrial Development Zone as the core, we will create an expansion zone for the innovative cluster development of the commercial aerospace industry in Hebei Province. Baoji High-tech Industrial Development Zone will focus on developing aerospace liquid propulsion manufacturing, solid rocket engine production and manufacturing, and integrated testing of liquid rocket engines, fully exploring new application scenarios for commercial aerospace propulsion. Tongchuan High-tech Industrial Development Zone will focus on developing rocket engine assembly and testing, aerospace equipment testing and inspection, satellite tracking, telemetry, and command (TT&C) backup, and the development of new aerospace materials and equipment, fully expanding new areas of commercial aerospace services.

Key tasks

Focusing on the high-quality development of the commercial aerospace industry, we will leverage the comparative advantages of our province in accordance with local conditions, and prioritize the implementation of six major projects: space infrastructure construction, key core technology research and development and industrialization, innovative product application demonstration, industrial innovation capacity enhancement, innovation ecosystem optimization, and specialized park construction. We will accelerate the realization of independent control over key links in the industrial chain and the promotion and application of key products, create a number of demonstration application scenarios, form new models and new business forms, and strive to improve the scale and economic benefits of the industry.

(I) Space Infrastructure Construction Project

With the goal of building a satellite constellation that caters to specific industry sectors and has global service capabilities, we will accelerate the construction of space-based and ground-based infrastructure, create a "high-speed, ubiquitous, integrated, interconnected, efficient, and secure" satellite infrastructure system, and solidify the foundation for the development of the satellite application industry.

(II) Key Core Technology Breakthroughs and Industrialization Project

We will accelerate the implementation of a number of key core technology research projects for the commercial aerospace industry, break through key technologies such as the development of reusable rocket engines, satellite payload design, integration of satellite communication, navigation and remote sensing, and industrialization of terminal products, and strive to enhance the resilience and security of the industrial chain.

(III) Demonstration Project for the Application of Innovative Products

Focusing on urban governance, industry applications, a better life, and space exploration, we will leverage the advantages of satellite internet—wide coverage, low latency, broadband, and low cost—and seize the opportunities presented by BeiDou navigation and remote sensing satellites to empower innovation and development across various industries. We will accelerate the deep integration of satellite applications with public services, industry development, and daily life, and create a number of replicable and scalable best practices.

(iv) Industrial Innovation Capacity Enhancement Project

To meet the common technological development needs of the commercial aerospace industry, a number of new industrial innovation platforms will be established, relying on universities, research institutes, and enterprises, to form a public service system for aerospace infrastructure that integrates central and local government collaboration, university-enterprise linkage, and government-enterprise cooperation.

(V) Innovation Ecological Optimization Project

Guide innovation resources to converge on commercial aerospace, build an innovation ecosystem that deeply integrates the innovation chain, industrial chain, capital chain, and talent chain, create a commercial aerospace innovation and development system of "basic research + technological breakthroughs + achievement transformation + science and technology finance + talent support", and foster a good innovation atmosphere of collaborative innovation, capacity sharing, and supply chain interconnection among large, medium and small enterprises.
