　　"We benchmarked against Orlando, USA, and reasonably optimized the space layout and industrial layout of the space city." Liu Chong, mayor of Wenchang City, Hainan Province and director of the Wenchang International Space City Administration Bureau, accepted during the 10th Hainan Wenchang Nanyang Cultural Festival in 2024 In an exclusive interview, a reporter from China News Network said that Wenchang will make good use of the unique advantages of Hainan Free Trade Port construction to accelerate "strengthening towards the sky" and "strengthening towards numbers". We welcome overseas folks to return home to invest and start businesses, and share in the development of Hainan Free Trade Port. New opportunities.

　　Wenchang is China's first open coastal space launch base. Since its launch in 2016, it has completed 28 launch missions. Currently, Wenchang is working hard to build Wenchang International Space City, accelerate the construction of China's first and currently only commercial space launch site, and seize strategic opportunities for the development of the commercial space industry.

　　Liu Chong said that Wenchang is aiming to build a "world-class space launch site" and "a world-class aerospace technology city" and is embarking on a development path for the aerospace industry with Hainan characteristics, and has made breakthroughs in launch capabilities, project construction, and industrial agglomeration. sexual progress.

　　He said that the Hainan International Commercial Space Launch Center Station 1, the only commercial space launch site in the country, has been completed, and the construction of Stations 2 and 3 is accelerating. In the second half of this year, the launch site will achieve normalized launches and commercial launch capabilities. is accelerating its formation. At the same time, the rocket assembly and testing plant, satellite assembly and testing plant, satellite R&D center, and remote sensing satellite application industry comprehensive information and service platform will be put into use this year.

　　Liu Chong introduced that relying on the commercial space launch site, Wenchang has accelerated the construction of rocket chains, satellite chains, data links and "aerospace +" industrial systems, and promoted the development of commercial aerospace in Wenchang throughout the region, with the Rocket Academy, the National Space Administration, the Aerospace Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, etc. The industrial ecology of chain owners has gradually formed, and the industrial agglomeration effect is attracting leading aerospace companies such as Tianbing Technology, Jianyuan Technology, and Galaxy Power to accelerate their deployment in Wenchang, and industrial development has entered a new stage.

　　"Wenchang strives to build the aerospace city into a national-level commercial aerospace innovation demonstration zone and a pioneering area for international cooperation." Liu Chong said that as a strategic emerging industry, commercial aerospace is one of the main tracks for the development of new productive forces. Wenchang will make good use of Hainan The unique advantages of the free trade port construction will accelerate the "strengthening towards the sky" and "strengthening towards the digital". Specifically, it will be carried out in three steps:

　　First, give full play to the core advantages and industrial agglomeration advantages of "two fields and three chains", rely on commercial space launch sites, accelerate the construction of the Star Arrow Industrial Park, build a satellite super factory, and promote the formation of "launch as soon as it leaves the factory, operation as launch, data as service, The industrial organization innovation model of "return and reuse" will create a commercial aerospace resort and aerospace industry gathering place.

　　The second is to give full play to the synergistic advantages of the industrial chain, innovation chain, and capital chain, accelerate the improvement of the support capabilities of major national scientific and technological projects such as new-generation manned spaceflight, heavy-lift rockets, reusable rockets, and deep space exploration, and give full play to the leveraging role of industrial investment funds to create A highland of scientific and technological innovation.

　　The third is to give full play to the superimposed advantages of the Hainan Free Trade Port Policy and the Commercial Space Opening Policy and the advantages of internationalization and South China Sea application scenarios. Taking the demand scenarios such as serving the construction of the Free Trade Port and the security and development of the South China Sea as the entry point, the layout is based on internationalization and application scenarios. As a shared platform for advantages, we will cultivate and expand the aerospace information industry and create a base for international cooperation.

　　The development of aerospace tourism in Wenchang has attracted widespread attention. Liu Chong said that in terms of aerospace tourism planning, Wenchang is accelerating the preparation of the overall aerospace tourism plan and the aerospace park outline. Around the Longlou, Dongjiao, Bamen Bay and other areas, aerospace parks, aerospace museums, viewing platforms and other places will be distributed in points. Key projects related to aerospace tourism to create an aerospace tourism gathering area.

　　Liu Chong revealed that Wenchang is planning key projects in the aerospace tourism industry such as the Aerospace Museum and the Wenchang International Aerospace Tourism Experience Service Center project to create a new model of aerospace industry tourism, open up new aerospace-themed tourism experiences, and promote the transformation and upgrading of Wenchang aerospace tourism. In order to guide and standardize the establishment and orderly development of the aerospace tourism market, Wenchang is compiling the "Aerospace Tourism Management Specifications".

　　Liu Chong said that more than one million overseas Chinese from Wenchang are an important force in building a free trade port and building a space city. Wenchang, the hometown of overseas Chinese, will make every effort to build a platform for communication, unity and cooperation for overseas folks. We welcome folks to return home and join hands with the aerospace city to explore the blue ocean of industry and go to the sea of ​​​​stars. (over)
