China’s space agency released an action plan to back commercial space firms and encourage them to pursue international cooperation over the next two years.<\/p>\n

The document released by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) on Tuesday has invited the country’s commercial space enterprises to “go global” and help developing countries build satellite-application industries.<\/p>\n

The CNSA pledged to fold commercial-space projects into China’s international cooperation agenda.<\/p>\n

The agency vowed to expand commercial access to its national network of civilian tracking, telemetry and control (TT&C) stations, data-receiving sites, calibration ranges and validation fields, as well as to large test assets such as rocket-engine test stands and space-environment simulation facilities.<\/p>\n

Commercial players will be selected through open competition to take part in cutting-edge, key space programs, ranging from advanced propulsion and next-generation satellite platforms and payloads to integrated communications, navigation and remote-sensing applications.<\/p>\n

The CNSA will establish a national commercial space development fund, and broaden government procurement to integrate commercial capabilities — such as launch vehicles, satellites, launch sites and TT&C facilities — into national missions.<\/p>\n

Local governments are urged to establish technology-innovation centers focused on reusable rockets and smart satellites, and to build open platforms for advanced manufacturing, final assembly and testing, according to the plan.<\/p>\n

Support measures also include building commercial launch sites, unifying space standards, and opening space-debris data to power collision warnings for commercial spacecraft.<\/p>\n

Commercial firms are encouraged to pioneer space resource utilization, on-orbit servicing, debris removal, space tourism, and in-space biomanufacturing.<\/p>\n

The plan aims to achieve high-quality development of commercial space by 2027. The recommendations for the country’s 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-2030) list the aerospace sector among its strategic emerging industries.\u00a0 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Gravity-1 carrier rocket carrying a wide-field satellite and two experimental satellites blasts off from waters off the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":309992,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[49,48,66,306],"class_list":["post-309991","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-science","tag-space"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=309991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/309991\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/309992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=309991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=309991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=309991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
