Relying on its unique geographical advantages, Hainan is becoming the launch center for China’s future giant satellite Internet constellation construction. Focusing on this core advantage, Wenchang is building a commercial aerospace innovation industry highland.<\/p>\n
Today let\u2019s talk about: China\u2019s top 10 commercial aerospace industrial clusters in 2025\u2014Hainan Wenchang assembly\/launch integrated industrial cluster.<\/p>\n

Hainan Wenchang General Assembly\/Launch Integrated Industrial Cluster<\/p>\n
The development of Wenchang’s aerospace industry mainly relies on its unique geographical location. As China’s first low-latitude space launch site, the Wenchang Space Launch Site is located at 19 degrees north latitude, closer to the equator. This means that the Wenchang Space Launch Site has the largest linear rotation speed among the four major launch sites in China, as well as the centrifugal phenomenon caused by inertia. Launching rockets here can greatly reduce the consumption of rocket fuel. Compared with high-latitude launch sites, the capacity of the same type of rocket can be increased by about 10%.<\/p>\n
At the same time, building a launch site in Wenchang can also solve the problem of large-diameter rocket transportation through sea transportation. my country’s first 5-meter-diameter rocket, the Long March 5, completed its first flight here. Building a launch site here can also rely on the vast ocean to improve the safety of debris falling and complete rocket recovery missions at sea.<\/p>\n
With the development of China’s commercial aerospace industry, Wenchang International Space City has become China’s hottest industrial highland. China’s first commercial space launch site, Hainan Wenchang Satellite Super Factory, Rocket Academy Hainan Assembly and Test Center, Interstellar Glory final assembly and reuse plant and other projects have been built here. Interstellar Glory’s first rocket recovery ship “Interstellar Return” will also be put into service here.<\/p>\n
Centering on industries such as rocket and satellite assembly, rocket recycling and reuse, and satellite data applications, Wenchang has gradually formed a characteristic commercial aerospace industry cluster with assembly\/launch integration.<\/p>\n

Industrial agglomeration<\/p>\n
Wenchang International Space City has settled in more than 700 aerospace-related companies and institutions. In 2023, Wenchang International Aerospace City Park completed revenue of 22.101 billion yuan, fixed investment of 6.322 billion yuan, and tax revenue of 702 million yuan, an increase of 106.9%, 43.5%, and 36.3% respectively. The growth rate ranked second, second, and third among key parks in the province. <\/p>\n

Industrial layout<\/p>\n
Wenchang International Space City is the main hosting area for Wenchang’s commercial aerospace industry cluster. Industrial development mainly revolves around the core advantages of “two fields” and “three chains”.<\/p>\n
Two of them are the “Wenchang Space Launch Site” and the “Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site”. Relying on the driving capabilities of the two major launch sites, an industrial chain focusing on “aerospace specialties” and “aerospace culture and tourism” has been developed.<\/p>\n
The “three chains” refer to: the rocket industry chain with the Rocket Academy, Star Glory, Galaxy Power, etc. as the main chain; the satellite industry chain with China Star, Blue Arrow Hongqing, etc. as the main chain; and the data industry chain with the High Score Center of the National Space Administration, the Aerospace Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, etc. as the main chain.<\/p>\n

Key companies<\/p>\n
According to the different fields of the company, key companies in Wenchang’s aerospace industry include: Overall rocket companies: Rocket Academy, Interstellar Glory, Galaxy Power, Arrow Technology, etc.; Overall satellite companies: China Star, Xingyuan Satellite, Hongqing Technology, etc.; Launch service companies: Hainan Commercial Development; Special gas companies: Sharp Gas, Jovo Energy, etc.; Satellite component companies: Nationstar Flight Test (component testing), Micro-Enthalpy Technology (thermal control), etc. Satellite application companies: Nongle Nanfan (aerospace breeding), free flow transportation (Beidou Navigation), aerospace supercomputing wisdom (big data supercomputing center); Satellite measurement and control companies: Aerospace Yuxing, etc.; <\/p>\n
Aerospace tourism enterprises: Jiexing Meteorite Museum, China Travel Aerospace, etc.<\/p>\n

technological breakthrough<\/p>\n
As my country’s first low-latitude launch site, the Wenchang Space Launch Site witnessed the first flight of China’s first 5-meter diameter rocket, the Long March 5. At the same time, it is also the launch site for the Long March 7 and Long March 8 series rockets. Wenchang also gave birth to my country’s first commercial space launch site, the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site. In December 2024, my country’s first 4-meter-diameter liquid rocket, the Long March 12 rocket, made its first flight at the Hainan Shangfa No. 2 station. <\/p>\n
On August 5, 2025, Interstellar Glory’s 10,000-ton launch vehicle recovery ship “Interstellar Return” was successfully launched. This recovery ship is my country’s first rocket recovery ship and will perform the maritime recovery mission of the Hyperbolic 3 rocket in Wenchang in the future.<\/p>\n

policy support<\/p>\n
As the main gathering area for the commercial aerospace industry in Hainan Province, Wenchang has received strong support from Hainan Province. August 4, 2025. Hainan released the “Three-year Action Plan for Hainan Province to Accelerate the Construction of a Modern Industrial System with Characteristics and Advantages (2025-2027)”, which lists commercial aerospace as one of Hainan’s three future industries and an important pillar for Hainan to build a modern industrial system. In response to Wenchang City’s characteristic aerospace tourism market, the Wenchang Municipal Government also issued the “Wenchang City Standardized Space Tourism Market Order Management Measures” to regulate the aerospace tourism market. <\/p>\n

future development<\/p>\n
Relying on the networking advantages brought by low-latitude launches, Wenchang will become the main launch site for China’s giant Internet constellations such as Xingwang and Qianfan in the future. Many recyclable rockets under development in China will also complete “flight-based” launches here.<\/p>\n
As the entire commercial aerospace industry chain of Wenchang’s final assembly-launch-recycling-reuse gradually matures, Wenchang will develop into China’s “stuck corner.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
