JINDONG HI-TECH Escorts China's New Journey in Commercial Aerospace: Hainan International Commercial Aerospace Launch Station 1 Successfully Debuts

At 0:38 on March 12, 2025, Hainan International Commercial Space Launch Center welcomed a historic moment - the first successful launch of China's first commercial space launch site, Station 1! The Long March 8 Y-6 carrier rocket launched the fifth batch of networked satellites of the Qianfan constellation into the predetermined orbit in a "one rocket, eighteen satellites" manner. As the rocket flames pierce through the vast sky, Beijing Jindong High-tech Co., Ltd.(“JINDONG HI-TECH” for short) , as the core participating unit, has written a new chapter for China's commercial aerospace with outstanding technical strength and responsibility.   

From completion to launch: 15 months of refining aerospace benchmarks

On December 29, 2023, the first station of Hainan International Commercial Space Launch Center, jointly built by JINDONG HI-TECH, was officially completed; On March 12, 2025, rockets soared into the sky on the same land. In the past 15 months, Jindong High tech has successfully debugged and optimized its escort equipment, overcoming the complex environmental challenges of high temperature, high humidity, and strong typhoons in Hainan. As a design and technical service provider for fully enclosed rotary systems and lifting platforms, the company's technical team has carried out multiple rounds of technical research and development for tropical climates, from scheme design to simulation verification, from factory testing to on-site debugging. With a work style of excellence, we ensure the stability and reliability of the equipment, and have successfully laid a solid foundation for the first flight.   

Debut moment: a milestone in China's commercial aerospace industry

On the early morning of March 12th, under the cover of night, the countdown started. When the command is issued, the rotation system smoothly and quickly evacuates with precise trajectory, and the lifting platform synchronously activates the safety protection mechanism, freeing up the best launch space for the rocket. At this moment, it marks that China's commercial aerospace industry has officially acquired the full chain capability of "independent design construction operation", and will accelerate towards a new era of "high-frequency, low-cost" aerospace in the future.   

Military civilian integration: Jindong High Tech's aerospace mission

JINDONG HI-TECH has always taken it as its responsibility to serve the national strategy, and has been deeply involved in national level space projects such as Mars landing and manned moon landing. In the construction of Hainan Shangfa No.1 workstation,  JINDONG HI-TECH fully leverages its technological advantages to transform its experience in the aerospace field into solutions for commercial launch scenarios, promoting the upgrading of China's aerospace engineering from a "national team" to a "diversified collaboration" model.   

Future outlook: Empowering the commercial aerospace ecosystem

With the successful launch of Station 1, Hainan International Commercial Space Launch Center will embark on a new pattern of normalized launches. JINDONG HI-TECH will further promote and participate in industrial chain cooperation, explore innovative directions such as smart launch site construction and aerospace cultural tourism integration, and help the country build a more internationally competitive commercial aerospace system.

Starry Sky and Ocean: An Endless Space Journey

From the coast of the South China Sea to the vast Milky Way, Jindong High tech has forged its aerospace dream with technological ingenuity. When the rocket tail flame outlines a magnificent arc in the night sky, the world witnesses not only the rise of China's commercial aerospace industry, but also the hard core responsibility of a Chinese enterprise. In the future,JINDONG HI-TECH will continue to use "aerospace quality" as a benchmark and leave more Chinese marks on the journey of the starry sea!

Tip: The fully enclosed rotary system and lifting platform are cantilevered large hydraulic driven rotary equipment attached to a fixed launch tower, with a height of up to 100 meters and several layers of lifting work platforms inside. For the convenience of manufacturing, transportation, and installation, it is usually divided into several sections along the height direction. When the rocket is transferred from the technical plant to the launch pad, the rotation system is retracted from the open and closed state to the enclosed state, forming a three-dimensional space for personnel activities, such as fuel injection and product testing, while also providing climate protection for the rocket body. The slewing system is driven by a hydraulic system to swing open before launch, creating a safe space for the rocket to take off.
