At 15:48 on January 19, 2026, the flames rose above the Hainan commercial space launch site, and the Long March 12 carrier rocket sent 19 sets of satellites in low orbit into space, making China's commercial space industry more determined to move towards a strategic pillar. Against the backdrop of being listed as a key task in the national five-year plan for the first time, this mission is not only a showcase of technology, but also a vivid portrayal of the overall leap of China's aerospace industry ecosystem.

Commercial aerospace enters a new stage

The launch mission was a complete success, and the satellite successfully entered its designated orbit. This is one of the important launch tasks undertaken by the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site, marking the gradual transformation of China's commercial space industry from a supplementary force to a strategic pillar industry. At present, it is a critical period for accelerating the construction of a strong aerospace country in the 15th Five Year Plan. This successful launch provides strong practical support for the implementation of the plan and demonstrates the vigorous vitality of China's diversified aerospace development.

Combining independent innovation with mass production

According to Hu Zhao, the chief engineer of Galaxy Aerospace, the satellite launched this time is equipped with multiple industry-leading core technology products independently developed by Galaxy Aerospace, including low-cost phased array, millimeter wave antenna, integrated electronic and energy systems, etc. The development process has achieved digital full process integration for the first time, and fully applied automated testing, intelligent assembly, and inspection technologies based on the characteristics of mass production. At the same time, the launch site process has been optimized, significantly improving the overall development and launch efficiency. Keywords: New News Video, New News Video News

Building a smart factory to embrace the 6G era

In response to the future demand for mass production of satellites, Galaxy Aerospace has established a satellite smart factory, building a complete industrial ecosystem from component research and development production to integrated testing of the entire satellite. The satellite collaborative intelligent scheduling system developed by the team has further shortened the satellite development cycle. In the field of mobile phone direct connection satellites, Galaxy Aerospace has established a technological capability that benchmarks the international advanced level, covering key links such as antennas, satellite base stations, and solar wings. Its independently developed satellite with mobile phone direct connection function has completed in orbit testing and verification, and is continuously promoting technological innovation and actively laying out the 6G era.Editor/Gao Xue
