The morning sun shines on the launch station in Wenchang, Hainan. Workers are busy debugging equipment, and data keeps jumping on the large screen of the command and control center in the distance. On February 21, 2026, this once barren land has now become an important stage for China's commercial aerospace industry. Governor Liu Xiaoming and his delegation walked into the scene, exchanged details with the engineers, inquired about the progress, and their eyes were filled with expectations for "striving for excellence".

From the launch station to the rocket factory

Liu Xiaoming first arrived at Launch Stations 3 and 4 and inquired in detail about the construction progress and technical parameters of the stations. These two workstations will undertake various commercial satellite launch tasks in the future and serve as the "core engines" of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site. Subsequently, he walked into the commercial aerospace command and control center to learn about system debugging and data transmission, emphasizing the need to ensure that the launch mission was foolproof.

At the rocket assembly plant, Liu Xiaoming carefully inspected the rocket assembly testing process. This is not only the birthplace of rockets, but also a key node that attracts enterprises such as satellite research and development manufacturing, rocket assembly and testing to gather. He encourages enterprises to accelerate technological innovation and enhance their independent and controllable capabilities.

Using the field to drive production, integrating industry and city

We should fully rely on the policy advantages of Hainan Free Trade Port, adhere to the integration of industry and city through the field, "Liu Xiaoming pointed out in his research. Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site is not only a launch platform, but also a magnet for industrial agglomeration. Through policy dividends, attract upstream and downstream enterprises such as satellite research and development, rocket assembly and testing, and satellite data applications to land, forming a complete commercial aerospace ecosystem.

This strategy is highly aligned with China's direction of promoting the commercialization of the aerospace industry. The tax incentives, customs clearance convenience and other policies of Hainan Free Trade Port provide strong support for the convergence of global innovation resources and help build a commercial aerospace industry cluster with international competitiveness.

Strive for strength in the sky and cultivate new quality productivity

I hope everyone can seize the opportunity and continue to climb, with a full mental state and a high spirit of struggle, and persist in striving for strength towards the sky. "Liu Xiaoming's words are full of expectations for the future. He emphasized that the commercial aerospace industry is a typical representative of new quality productivity, and it is necessary to promote high-quality development of Hainan's commercial aerospace through technological innovation and industrial synergy.

This survey is not only a recognition of the progress of the project, but also a strategic guidance for the future development of Hainan's commercial aerospace industry. With the gradual improvement of various facilities at the launch site, Hainan is expected to become a new highland for China's commercial aerospace industry, contributing Hainan's strength to the construction of a space power.Editor/Yang Meiling
