China News Service, Guangzhou, January 10th (Sun Qiuxia and Wang Jian) Recently, the China Science and Technology Aerospace Flight Technology Industrialization Base was completed and put into operation in Nansha, Guangzhou.
The base is mainly used to carry out the production, testing, final assembly and testing of serialized solid and liquid launch vehicles, with an annual output of up to 30 launch vehicles, which will drive the upstream and downstream industrial chains to achieve a scale of 100 billion.
The Zhongke Aerospace Flight Technology Industrialization Base is a series of launch vehicle industrial bases built by Zhongke Aerospace. It officially started construction on September 29, 2020 at the Nansha Dagang Advanced Manufacturing Base. It will be completed and put into use in November 2022. .
The base not only has the final assembly and testing of the rocket, but also parts such as the equipment on the rocket will be produced here. It is a commercial aerospace industrialization base of the whole industry chain and will fill the gap in Guangdong's aerospace manufacturing industry.
Yang Yiqiang, chairman and president of Zhongke Aerospace, introduced that the final assembly of the Lijian-1 and Yao-2 launch vehicle located in the Zhongke Aerospace Science and Technology Industrialization Base has been completed and is undergoing factory testing. The base has initially formed the launch vehicle final assembly test capability.
On July 27, 2022, China's largest solid launch vehicle, "Lijian-1", developed by the General Manager of the Institute of Mechanics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and participated in the development of my country Aerospace Science and Technology Co., Ltd., successfully made its first flight at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center. into a 500-kilometer sun-synchronous orbit.
The first flight carried six satellites, with an uplink load of 1068.63 kg and a total weight of 899 kg, achieving a hundred-meter-level precision orbit.
After the successful first flight, "Lijian-1" officially entered the stage of mass production and application launch.

In an interview with reporters, Shi Xiaoning, technical director of China Aerospace Science and Technology, said that Lijian-1 and Yao-2 rockets plan to complete the test before the Spring Festival, and will do some combined satellite and rocket tests in the future.
It is reported that the Lijian-1 Yao-2 launch vehicle is planned to be launched at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in May 2023.
The mission load of the launch vehicle is Changsha Tianyi Space Technology Co., Ltd. Fucheng 1, TY26 and other satellites, with a total weight of 1 ton.
"Before the first flight of 'Lijian-1', China's commercial space industry had a relatively small carrying capacity, and they all launched some small satellites of several hundred kilograms. Only by increasing the carrying capacity can more satellites be launched into space and realize Better Internet of Things and Internet of Vehicles services. At present, the "Lijian-1" rocket has a carrying capacity of 1.5 tons, and will continue to be optimized in the future." Shi Xiaoning said.
At the inauguration ceremony of the base, Zhongke Aerospace signed a major launch project agreement with the Li Arrow series of carrier rockets with 7 partners including the Institute of Microsatellite Innovation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Changguang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. The quality is 40 tons, and the contract value is 1.6 billion yuan.
Shi Xiaoning pointed out that China's commercial aerospace industry is moving closer to internationalization, and more mature industries need to be introduced to participate. "We have taken a fancy to the development of the science and technology industry in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and we also hope that the aerospace industry can combine with these advanced industries and collide with them." more sparks."
