星际荣耀海南“火箭工厂”在文昌竣工

Core Viewpoint - The completion of the "rocket factory" by Galactic Glory in Wenchang marks a significant step for China's commercial aerospace sector, transitioning from a launch site to a manufacturing hub [3][5]. Group 1: Factory Overview - The total investment for the rocket assembly and testing factory is approximately 450 million yuan, with a total construction area of 28,800 square meters [3]. - The factory adopts an innovative "assembly, testing, and reuse" model, achieving a one-stop closed loop for rocket production, system testing, and post-recovery reuse inspection, significantly shortening the R&D cycle and reducing launch costs [3][4]. - The factory is expected to have an annual production capacity of 24 rockets, which will increase to 36 rockets after the second phase of expansion [3]. Group 2: Related Projects - In addition to the assembly and testing factory, Galactic Glory is advancing three major projects: a 106 million yuan offshore recovery platform system, and a 350 million yuan general-purpose power system testing base [3][4]. - The offshore recovery platform is crucial for the vertical recovery of liquid rocket stages and is set to undergo testing in Hainan [4]. - The power system testing base, which has received approval from the National Space Administration, will conduct 10 to 12 rocket engine tests annually, serving multiple aerospace companies [4]. Group 3: Strategic Importance - The three projects together form a closed industrial chain of "manufacturing—testing—recovery—reuse," aiming for the successful first flight and sea recovery of the Hyperbola-3 rocket [5]. - The factory is expected to receive its first Hyperbola-3 rocket by the end of this year for assembly and testing, with large-scale ground tests planned for the same timeframe [5][6]. - Hainan's free trade port offers significant advantages in market access and policy approval, enhancing project efficiency [5]. Group 4: Industry Development - The proximity of the factory, power system testing base, and Hainan's commercial launch site creates an efficient collaborative aerospace industry cluster [5]. - The development model of "driving production with launch sites" is evolving into an innovative development advantage for the aerospace industry in Wenchang [5]. - The Wenchang International Aerospace City has attracted over 700 industry chain enterprises, benefiting from the relaxation of commercial aerospace restrictions in the 2025 updated negative list for market access [5].
