China\u2019s Satellite Hometown-Beijing Haidian<\/p>\n
The development trajectory of commercial aerospace in Beijing\u2019s Haidian District is inseparable from the development of the Fifth Institute of Aerospace Science and Technology. As the most powerful spacecraft development base and scientific research institute in China, the Fifth Academy is not only the most powerful backbone of China\u2019s satellite industry, but also the talent base for commercial aerospace development in Haidian District. The northern area of \u200b\u200bHaidian, with the China Aerospace City where the Fifth Academy is located as the core, is an important gathering place for the satellite industry in Haidian District. Although StarNet is registered in Xiongan, the Fifth Academy, as one of the complete satellite manufacturers of StarNet satellites, is an important force in ensuring the construction of China’s satellite Internet constellation. Currently, 29 of the 34 satellites included in the Star Network\u2019s four launch missions were manufactured by the Tianjin production line of the Fifth Academy. China Shangxing, established under the leadership of No. 529 Factory of the Fifth Academy, is mainly responsible for the design and manufacturing of my country\u2019s future satellite Internet systems. At present, Shangxing has invested in the construction of the Hainan Satellite Super Factory in Wenchang, Hainan, with a planned annual output of 1,000 satellites, which is the most solid backing for the construction of satellite networks. As the technology, talent, and industrial highland of the satellite industry in Haidian District and even the country, the Fifth Academy provides development soil for the commercial satellite industry in Haidian District and is also the foundation for the development of the commercial satellite industry in Haidian District. <\/p>\n

Industrial agglomeration<\/p>\n
As of July 2025, the number of enterprises and institutions in the commercial aerospace field in Beijing’s Haidian District exceeds 200, mainly concentrated in the fields of satellite research and development, manufacturing and operation. \u200c<\/p>\n
Haidian District has formed an industrial cluster with more than 50 leading commercial satellite companies such as Zhongke Star Chart, Micro-Nano Starry Sky, Industrial University Satellite, and Future Aerospace as the core, covering the entire industry chain such as navigation, remote sensing, measurement and control, and operations. In 2024, Haidian District companies will launch a total of 37 satellites, with an industry scale exceeding 30 billion yuan.<\/p>\n
3<\/p>\n
Industrial Park<\/p>\n
The functional division of Haidian District Industrial Park is mainly divided into northern and southern parts.<\/p>\n
In the north, with the Space City as the core and radiating to the Yongfeng and Cuihu clusters, it is planned to build a “satellite town” with an area of \u200b\u200bover 200,000 square meters integrating R&D and pilot testing in Northwest Wang Town; a customized small-batch satellite whole-satellite demonstration line will be built to improve satellite intelligence, standardization, and mass production levels, and accelerate the formation of internationally leading whole-satellite research and development capabilities. It is the main bearing area for the satellite manufacturing industry in Haidian District.<\/p>\n
The southern part focuses on the development of satellite applications and data resource services, relying on resources such as central enterprises and universities along Zhichun Road and Yongding Road to form linkages with the northern part to build a spatial layout of “one city, one town, multiple parks”.<\/p>\n

technological breakthrough<\/p>\n
In the traditional space era, the Fifth Academy represented the highest level of Chinese spacecraft design and manufacturing. Here was born China’s first artificial satellite Dongfanghong 1, the first returnable remote sensing satellite, the first experimental communication satellite and the first unmanned experimental spacecraft “Shenzhou 1”. From the China Space Station and Beidou satellite to the Chang’e lunar probe and the Zhurong Mars rover, the technical breakthroughs of the Fifth Academy have created countless brilliance in the traditional aerospace era. In the era of commercial aerospace, Galaxy Aerospace, a satellite development company in Haidian District, launched China’s first flat-panel low-orbit broadband communication satellite using flexible solar wings on July 23, 2023; Aotian Technology, an electric propulsion company in the district, is currently the private enterprise with the largest number of electric propulsion in orbit in China; Aurora Star, as a supplier of laser communication payloads for the Star Network, has cooperated with the Star Network to complete the research and development of the second-generation laser communication payload, supporting the construction of China’s satellite Internet. <\/p>\n
