A few days ago, the launch of Shenzhou 18 was a complete success, and the two groups of astronauts reunited at the space station, which made people rejoice. Behind this is the current hot space information industry: the new low-altitude economy, which is mainly used in all kinds of unmanned aircraft industry, presses the "fast-forward button" in terms of technological innovation and industry scale application.BlockchaingamefreeOn the other hand, China's commercial aerospace is in the stage of vigorous development, and policies, funds, talents and other factors as a whole are gathering towards the commercial aerospace industry.

From the annual meeting of the 2024 Zhongguancun (000931) Forum, we can also get a glimpse of the popularity of the space information industry. On April 29th, two activities related to the space information industry were held: the Air and Space Information Industry Innovation and Development Conference, the 2024 Zhongguancun International Technology Exchange Conference, the first meeting of high-tech products-- low-altitude economy and commercial aerospace special events. Both the wonderful discussions of the guests and the release of new technologies and new products all express the same fact: China's low-altitude economy and commercial aerospace have moved from "flying" to "using."

Low-altitude economy is not far from life.

The air-space information industry seems to be far away from people, but in fact, it has been deeply integrated into people's daily life. For example, a very important part of the air-space information industry is the low-altitude economy, which is represented by the well-known drones. It is understood that cutting-edge industries such as commercial aerospace and digital economy have been organically integrated into the industrial system of low-altitude economy, leading the advancement of new productivity, and low-altitude economy has also become an important engine of growth in the commercial aerospace industry chain.

Li Lianghai, chief engineer of the China Aerospace Electronics (600879) Technology Research Institute, made a vivid explanation of the possibilities of a low-altitude economy. Li Lianghai said that intelligent logistics enabled by low-altitude economy is an application field that has attracted the attention of the market, and low-altitude transport drones are representative products. For a long time, in the branch lines and ends of logistics transportation, low-altitude transport UAV has undertaken a considerable part of the functions, but now in the new intermodal freight mode, the capacity of low-altitude UAV can cover all links of trunk lines, feeder lines and ends. Really achieve seamless logistics.

Low-altitude emergency rescue is also an important function of UAV. Through the multi-network of communication, navigation and perception, the dynamic deployment of aircraft can be realized. Combined with communication computing and cloud-edge intelligent decision-making technology, an intelligent system with integrated sense of connectivity can be built to solve dangerous scenes that can not be seen or reached before, such as mountain areas and dense forests.

Li Lianghai said that the above scenarios have achieved practical results. For example, Hainan released the "Times Feihong 985 large UAV" on April 24, which realized the cross-sea air transport mission for the first time. Previously, in the "Emergency Mission 2023" alpine and canyon emergency rescue work, the relevant products of the China Academy of Aerospace Electronics and Technology also undertook material distribution and other work.

The scale of low-altitude economy is growing rapidly.

Since April, from the issuance of the world's first unmanned manned aircraft production license to the launch of the country's first low-altitude economic application demonstration island, the construction of flying vehicle infrastructure has been started. then, "Air Express" was selected by the Ministry of Transport for the first time in the intelligent transportation pilot project, and the low-altitude economy accelerated its infiltration into the production and consumption scene.

Data show that by 2023, 126 drones have been registered in China.Blockchaingamefree.7,000 aircraft, an increase of 32.2 percent over the same period last year, and 19000 enterprises operating drones.

It is estimated that the scale of China's low-altitude economy is more than 500 billion yuan in 2023 and is expected to reach 2 trillion yuan in 2030, among which the industrial UAV industry is an important subdivision track of the low-altitude economy. Li Chaojie, deputy director of the New Materials and Intelligent Manufacturing Science and Technology Department of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and the Zhongguancun Management Committee, pointed out that the market scale of civilian drones is growing rapidly.

"Beijing is rich in scientific and technological innovation resources in the field of drones, and while gathering scientific research resources and outstanding talents, a number of advanced technological achievements have been transformed and landed in Beijing." Li Chaojiang said that Beijing's UAV industry chain is relatively complete, covering key links such as integrated platform, flight control system, mission payload and safety prevention and control.

Miao Jun, assistant general manager of Zhongguancun Development Group, pointed out that Yanqing UAV Industrial Park is expected to be completed in 2026 and will build a "1x-2X" industrial system around advanced unmanned systems, intelligent hardware and new generation information technology. accelerate the development of UAV industry clusters.

The commercial aerospace market will reach 2.34 trillion this year.

In addition to the physical products represented by drones, the air and space information industry plays a more key role in the whole chain, empowering thousands of industries, such as aerospace measurement and operation control, intelligent government, meteorological ecology, online energy and so on. All rely on air and space information products.

A reporter from the Beijing Business Daily learned that at present, a number of enterprises are at the forefront of technology in the aerospace information industry. For example, Zhongke Star Map Co., Ltd., one of the guests of this meeting, has seized the major opportunities for the development of aerospace information technology. Accelerate innovation, integrate resources, and bear fruit in the application of commercial aerospace technology.

Enterprises such as China Science Star Map are not alone. With the support of policy, star enterprises in the field of commercial aerospace continue to emerge. In 2023, the Central Economic work Conference put forward clear requirements for building a number of strategic emerging industries, such as commercial aerospace and low-altitude economy. The governments of Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Anhui, Hubei and other places responded positively to speed up the layout of the commercial aerospace industry.

According to public data, China's commercial space market has maintained rapid growth since 2015, with an average annual growth rate of more than 20% from 2017 to 2024, and the size of the commercial space market is expected to be about 2.34 trillion yuan in 2024. By 2023, 537 domestic commercial aerospace enterprises have been registered and effectively operated, mainly in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Shaanxi, Jiangsu and other places.

China's aerospace industry has entered the process of commercialization in many fields, which will form a full-coverage industrial chain from rockets, satellites, ground stations to terminals. Driven by commercial aerospace policy and technology, the satellite launch manufacturing cost will be significantly reduced with the continuous optimization of satellite component, spectral and batch production processes. The accuracy of satellite continues to improve, and the cost of data acquisition is further reduced, which provides a better data source for the application of space information.

Beijing continues to make efforts to "South Arrow and North Star"

In the grand blueprint of the air and space information industry, Beijing plays an important role with its unique advantage of innovative resources. At the conference, Yu Yingjie, member of the standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal CPC Committee and secretary of the Education work Committee, said that Beijing has incorporated the air and space information industry into the Beijing International Science and Technology Innovation Center and the highland of industrial development, as a construction deployment, to serve and support the national satellite Internet industry, and to implement an action plan to accelerate the development of commercial space innovation and promote the large-scale application of space information.

According to reports, as the birthplace of China's aerospace industry, Beijing has gathered the most important domestic space institutions and the most complete industrial chain, and is also the most booming area in the country's commercial aerospace field.

It is understood that at present, Beijing has excellent enterprises in the fields of communications, navigation, remote sensing, measurement, operation and control, including not only traditional space enterprises, but also emerging commercial space enterprises, forming the ecology of the whole industry chain, such as satellite development, ground measurement, operation and control, and communication and teleoperation, and nearly 100 satellites in many commercial aerospace constellations are operating in orbit.

Gong Weimi, deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Science and Technology Commission and Zhongguancun Administrative Committee, pointed out that Beijing has more than 50% of the country's core aerospace research and development units and commercial aerospace innovation enterprises, and has gathered more than 70% of the country's commercial rocket enterprises. The whole satellite development, constellation construction and operation capabilities are in a leading position in the country.

Facing the trend of deep integration of commercial aerospace and digital economy, Beijing is expected to take the lead in forming a new model of space information industry. At present, Beijing has formed a pattern of "South Arrow and North Star", that is, Haidian District and Beijing Economic and technological Development Zone (hereinafter referred to as "Beijing Economic Development Zone") two relatively large industrial agglomeration areas.

Specifically, at the beginning of this year, the Beijing Commercial Aerospace Development (000547) Conference was held in Beijing's Economic Development District, focusing on a series of policies on rocket development, while Haidian is a gathering place for many satellite enterprises and scientific research institutes in Beijing. it is also the source and main force of the air and space information industry.

It is understood that in recent years, Beijing has continuously promoted scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation in the field of low-altitude economy and commercial aerospace, especially promoting the deep integration of innovation chain and industrial chain. we will continue to support innovation and 002001 fruit landing around key core technological innovation, transformation of scientific and technological achievements, demonstration and application of achievements, and so on.
