万颗卫星上天难

卫星产业的"米"已满仓,但市场却忽然发现,能把这些卫星稳 定、廉价送上天的火箭,却还不够用。 作者:郑晨烨 封图:视觉中国 2025年,一笔"泼天的富贵"砸向了中国的商业航天市场,却硬生生卡在了发射环节。 所谓"泼天",具象为一个总预算6.16亿元人民币的火箭发射订单, 招标方是上海 垣信 卫星 科 技 有 限公司,采购目的是为旗下"千帆星座"的规模化组网寻找火箭运力。 然而, 从2月到8月,这笔订单反复启动招标,又反复宣告失败,理由很简单:递交投标文件的供 应商"不足3家"。 而根据《招标投标法》相关规定,投标人少于3个不得开标,只能重新招标。 接二连三的失败,指向了一个明确的现实: 市场上能接下这笔大单的"民营火箭公司",凑不够 数。 这让卫星公司们很"着急",因为根据国际电信联盟(ITU)"先到先得"的规则,卫星的轨道和 频率资源是有"保质期"的,必须在规定时间内按照环环相扣的时间节点,完成规定比例的卫星发 射,否则申请的资源就会失效。 当前,垣信卫星的"千帆星座"和另一家中国星网的"GW星座"申报的卫星总量已突破30000颗,发 射任务可谓艰巨。公开信息显示,从7月底到8月中旬,中国星网通过5次发射, ...

Core Viewpoint - The Chinese commercial space industry is facing a significant bottleneck in rocket launch capacity, which is hindering the deployment of satellite constellations necessary for various applications, including internet services and earth observation [1][2][3] Group 1: Market Demand and Challenges - Shanghai Yuanxin Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. has a budget of 616 million RMB for a rocket launch order to support its "Qianfan Constellation" project, but the bidding process has repeatedly failed due to insufficient qualified suppliers [1][2] - The total number of satellites declared by Yuanxin and another company has exceeded 30,000, indicating a high demand for launch services [2] - The urgency is compounded by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) rules, which impose strict deadlines for satellite launches to retain orbital and frequency resources [4][5] Group 2: Current Launch Capacity - The current private rocket companies in China lack a large-capacity liquid rocket comparable to SpaceX's Falcon 9, which limits their ability to meet the growing demand for satellite launches [2][3] - The recent bidding results show that only a few private companies, such as Tianbing Technology and Blue Arrow Aerospace, have the potential to meet the launch requirements, but they have not yet completed their first flight tests [3][10] Group 3: Industry Developments - The market has seen significant contracts, such as a 990 million RMB deal signed by Aerospace Hongtu with an international client, indicating a thriving satellite industry despite the launch capacity issues [2][7] - The launch frequency and capacity of Chinese companies are lagging behind SpaceX, which completed 100 orbital launches in the first eight months of 2025 alone [6][11] Group 4: Future Prospects - The industry is witnessing a shift towards developing large-capacity, reusable liquid rockets, with companies like Tianbing Technology and Blue Arrow Aerospace focusing their resources on this goal [17][18] - The infrastructure for high-density launches is being developed, with new launch sites and facilities being established to support future rocket launches [20][21] - The successful completion of initial flights for the new generation of rockets is critical for the satellite companies to proceed with their deployment plans [18][21]
