Xiguang's series of achievements in jointly drawing up a blueprint for commercial aerospace were showcased at the Hard Technology Conference.
2On the afternoon of November 5, 2025, an event was jointly hosted by the Xi'an Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, the Xi'an Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, and the Xi'an National Civil Aerospace Industrial Base Management Committee."Conference on High-Quality Development of Commercial Spaceflight"Held in Xi'an. This conference, as an important component of the 2025 Global Hard Technology Conference, focuses on…"Set sail with renewed vigor and embark on a voyage across the sea of stars"The event, themed "High-Spectrum Constellation of Xiguang Aerospace," brought together leaders, academicians, experts, and business representatives from government agencies, research institutes, universities, and commercial aerospace companies to conduct in-depth discussions on the development path, technological innovation, industrial collaboration, and application prospects of my country's commercial aerospace industry. Xiguang Aerospace, representing Shaanxi's local commercial aerospace brands, delivered a keynote report entitled "Xiguang Series High-Spectrum Constellation: Focusing on Aerospace Advantages to Release Industrial Momentum."。
In his opening remarks, Guo Yalong, Deputy Director of the Xi'an Municipal Bureau of Industry and Information Technology, pointed out that commercial aerospace has become a strategic pillar for national technological self-reliance. Xi'an, home to nearly one-third of the nation's aerospace capabilities, is leveraging its position as a hub for innovation in the aerospace information industry to promote the formation of…Rocket propulsion, satellite manufacturing, telemetry, tracking and command, and data applicationsHe stated that Xi'an will continue to promote policy support, platform construction, scenario expansion, and cluster development to help the commercial aerospace industry achieve high-quality development.
In his speech, Jiang Yang, deputy director of the Xi'an Aerospace Base Management Committee, reviewed the development history of the aerospace base over the past 19 years. He emphasized that as the only national-level economic and technological development zone with aerospace characteristics in the country, the base will continue to strengthen original innovation, accelerate the cultivation of industrial clusters, optimize the business environment, and promote aerospace technology to better serve national strategies and economic and social development.
Academicians and experts provide forward-looking guidance and discuss future trends in aerospace.
In the keynote speech session, Wang Jinnian, Academician of the International Academy of Astronautics and Executive Dean of the Guangzhou University Aerospace Remote Sensing Innovation Research Institute, delivered a speech.Outlook for China's Commercial Aerospace and Development Trends in Remote Sensing ApplicationsThe article, titled "The Commercial Spaceflight Industry Has Entered a New Stage of 'Application-Driven and Ecosystem Co-construction'," points out that commercial spaceflight has entered a new stage. It emphasizes that hyperspectral remote sensing, as a core technology for next-generation Earth observation, has enormous application potential in agriculture, environmental protection, and mineral resources, and calls for collaborative efforts from all parties to build a [resource-based ecosystem]."High efficiency, low cost, user-defined"The satellite constellation. He stated that Xi'an is a major center for aerospace and has made significant contributions to the nation's space program.Special thanksXi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics CAS Aerospace Science and Technology Group Co.,LTD's contribution to the Five Rams constellation.
Bai Yanjun, chief designer of solid rocket engines at the Fourth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, systematically analyzed the definition, development stages, and technological paths of commercial spaceflight both domestically and internationally. He proposed that commercial spaceflight should be based on commercialization, marketization, industrialization, and profitability. He specifically pointed out that Xi'an, as the "hometown of aerospace propulsion," should fully leverage its technological advantages in solid and liquid rocket engines to create an industrial cluster with regional characteristics.
CAS Xi'an Aerospace: Building China's Largest Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Constellation
Qin Jing in the titleXiguang Series Hyperspectral Constellation: Focusing on Aerospace Advantages and Unleashing Industrial MomentumIn his speech, he pointed out that as the implementer of the "Spectral Earth" project, CAS Xi'an Optics and Precision Mechanics Institute, relying on the Chinese Academy of Sciences Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics, has achieved a full-chain layout from satellite design, development, operation to data application. Since its establishment 4 years and 9 months ago, the company has successfully launched 10 hyperspectral satellites, built a hyperspectral database covering 92% of China with a total volume of over 100T, and launched two major platforms, "Remote Sensing Cloud" and "Interstellar Cloud".
She emphasized that the Xiguang series satellites possess..."Four highs and two wides"It features high spectral resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio, high spatial resolution, high calibration accuracy, wide swath, and wide spectral band, and achieves "lightweight, low cost, and fully self-developed" through integrated spaceborne design.
Looking ahead to the 15th Five-Year Plan, CAS Xiguang Aerospace plans to complete the networking of 158 satellites by 2030, building a practical constellation system including 108 general hyperspectral satellites, 40 dual-carbon monitoring satellites, and 10 functional satellites. This system will serve five major scenarios: agriculture, forestry, mining, water resources, and dual-carbon monitoring, and will promote hyperspectral remote sensing from "seeing" to "understanding" and "seeing clearly".
existDuring the industry practice sharing session, in addition to CAS Xiguang Aerospace, representatives from five other representative commercial aerospace companies delivered keynote speeches based on their respective fields.
The roundtable forum focused on Xi'an's breakthrough path, with central and local governments, universities, and enterprises jointly exploring collaborative development.
During the roundtable forum, Xu Zheng, founder of the Zhifang Innovation Center, moderated a dialogue entitled "The Breakthrough Path for Xi'an's Commercial Aerospace Industry." Guests including Feng Yutao, Assistant Director of the Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Sciences; Zhang Lujian, Researcher at the 39th Research Institute of China Electronics Technology Group Corporation; Liu Shang, Chief Technology Officer of Shaanxi Aerospace Commercial Engine Company; Jing Xia, Dean of the School of Surveying and Mapping Science and Technology, Xi'an University of Science and Technology; Feng Wei, Deputy Director of the Department of Remote Sensing, Xi'an University of Electronic Science and Technology; and Kang Peng, General Manager of Xi'an Operation Control Information Technology Company, discussed key issues such as "how to build a commercial closed loop," "how central and private enterprises can collaborate," and "how to transform university research results."
Building a Space Power Dream Together: Xi'an's Commercial Aerospace Industry is at its Prime
This conference systematically reviewed the achievements, challenges, and opportunities in my country's commercial aerospace development, providing a clear and well-defined action guide for the high-quality development of the commercial aerospace industry in Xi'an and even the whole country. As a representative of Shaanxi's local commercial aerospace enterprises, CAS Xi'an Aerospace showcased its technological strength and industrial vision at the conference, a vivid microcosm of Xi'an's transformation from a "major aerospace city" to a "strong aerospace city."
In the future, with the continued support of the national "15th Five-Year Plan" for the aerospace industry, Xi'an will continue to leverage its advantages of abundant aerospace science and technology resources, a complete industrial chain, and a strong talent pool to promote greater leaps in commercial aerospace in terms of technological breakthroughs, application expansion, and ecosystem construction, contributing more "Xi'an wisdom" and "Xi'an strength" to the construction of my country's aerospace power.
