commercial satellite – China National Space Administration releases action plan to vigorously promote commercial space development and international cooperation
Recently, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) officially released a two-year action plan aimed at systematically supporting the growth of domestic commercial space enterprises and actively guiding them to expand international cooperation. The plan clearly proposes to encourage Chinese commercial space enterprises to “go out”, assist developing countries in building satellite application industries, and incorporate commercial space projects into the country’s overall international cooperation framework.
According to the document, released on Nov. 27, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) has pledged to further open up the country’s space infrastructure to provide commercial entities with access to a wider range of services. This includes civil spaceflight measurement and control stations, data reception sites, calibration and test sites across the country, as well as large-scale test facilities such as rocket engine test benches and space environment simulators. This is aimed at lowering the research and development and operational thresholds of commercial space companies and enhancing their technology verification and mission execution efficiency.
In the area of key technologies, the action plan states that outstanding commercial companies will be selected through open competition to participate in national frontier and key space programs. These projects cover advanced propulsion technologies, new-generation satellite platforms and payloads, as well as comprehensive application systems integrating communications, navigation and remote sensing. Through such synergistic innovation between the “national team” and the “private team”, it is expected to accelerate the breakthrough of core technologies and the transformation of results.
To provide solid financial and market guarantees, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) will take the lead in setting up a national commercial space development fund. At the same time, the government will expand the scope of procurement and integrate the launch vehicles, satellites, launch sites, measurement and control services and other capabilities provided by commercial companies more deeply into the national space mission system. The plan also urges local governments to act proactively to build technology innovation centers around reusable rockets, smart satellites and other directions, as well as to create open and shared platforms for advanced manufacturing, assembly integration and testing.
In terms of optimizing the industrial environment, the action plan deploys a series of support measures, including coordinating the construction of commercial launch sites, promoting the unification of the space standards system, and opening space debris monitoring data to commercial spacecraft to provide collision warning services. These initiatives will help build a more standardized, safe and efficient commercial spaceflight operating ecology.
Looking ahead, the document encourages commercial enterprises to carry out pioneering exploration in a number of emerging areas, such as the development and utilization of space resources, on-orbit services and maintenance, space debris removal, space tourism and space biomanufacturing. The overall goal of the plan is to realize the high-quality development of commercial spaceflight in China by 2027.
This movement is closely aligned with China’s macro-strategic planning. Aerospace has been explicitly listed as one of the key strategic emerging industries to be cultivated in the country’s proposal for the Tenth Five-Year Plan (2026-2030). The introduction of this action plan signifies that China, while consolidating its national aerospace capabilities, is stimulating market vitality with unprecedented efforts to build a new pattern of commercial aerospace development guided by the government, led by enterprises, and operated by the market, and is committed to contributing Chinese wisdom and solutions to global space governance and the peaceful use of outer space through international cooperation.
