Where did Tianwen-2's "Star Chaser" journey fly to? When will Tianwen-3 depart? How can commercial aerospace develop healthily? During the National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Liu Jizhong, a National People's Congress representative and chief designer of Tianwen-3 mission, gave authoritative interpretations in media interviews on hot topics such as China's deep space exploration schedule and the construction of a strong aerospace country. How to explore the moon and deep space? Currently, China's lunar and deep space exploration is progressing as planned. The Chang'e-5 and Chang'e-6 lunar research samples have been loaned out in a total of 9 batches, totaling over 120 grams, achieving new scientific knowledge and discoveries. The 10th batch of lunar samples will be distributed in the near future. Last year, Tianwen-2 was successfully launched, embarking on a "star chasing" journey. It has flown about 700 million kilometers and will arrive at asteroid 2016HO3 this year to begin accompanying exploration. This year, China plans to launch Chang'e-7, mainly to carry out in-situ scientific and resource exploration at the South Pole of the Moon, forming a comprehensive exploration system for orbiting, landing, patrolling, and leaping around the South Pole of the Moon. In the future, China will also carry out the Tianwen-3 mission, which is expected to achieve the first human sample return to Mars. At present, the main line of the project is carrying out preliminary sample development, and it is planned to enter the formal sample development stage this year. All work is progressing smoothly. Liu Jizhong stated that in the past few decades, human deep space exploration activities have achieved a large number of scientific exploration and technological achievements, expanded human understanding of the universe, enriched human views on nature and the universe, and at the same time, driven a large number of breakthroughs in basic science and technology, incubated a large number of emerging industries, and served the national economy and people's livelihood. The field of deep space exploration is increasingly becoming an important force supporting the diplomacy of major powers. Whether to go early or not, fast or not, far or not, is related to the initiative of future development. How to build a strong aerospace country? In recent years, the development model of China's aerospace industry has quietly changed. While the aerospace "national team" continues to make efforts, the "civilian power" is also constantly growing and strengthening. Commercial aerospace is accelerating its development under policy guidance, technological breakthroughs, and market drivers. By 2025, China will have completed 92 space launches, including 50 commercial space launches. How to better build a comprehensive and multi-level industrial system to support the construction of a strong aerospace country? Liu Jizhong stated that both state-owned aerospace enterprises and commercial aerospace enterprises are important components of China's aerospace system. The former is a strategic aerospace force, while the latter is an emerging aerospace force. The two complement each other in many aspects. Under the framework of technology sharing and market access, state-owned aerospace enterprises and commercial aerospace enterprises should adhere to complementary advantages, risk sharing, and benefit sharing, break down collaborative barriers through mechanism innovation, and form a collaborative ecosystem of "national team basic innovation leading, commercial team application innovation and development, scientific research facility sharing and sharing, and high-quality product matching". He believes that the division of labor and competition mechanism should be optimized for better cooperation and win-win outcomes between the two parties. The 'national team' can focus on national strategic areas as the main focal point, while the commercial team focuses on application areas, forming differentiated competition. In response to the strategic, risky, and impactful nature of major projects, a model can be adopted where state-owned enterprises are responsible for overall management, while state-owned and commercial enterprises undertake system and product research and development through fair competition, creating a pattern of "strategic complementarity and industrial prosperity". To promote the high-quality development of commercial aerospace, China will establish a Commercial Aerospace Department in 2025. The "National Space Administration's Action Plan for Promoting High Quality and Safe Development of Commercial Space (2025-2027)", also released last year, proposes to incorporate commercial space into the overall layout of national space development, accelerate the formation of new space productivity, achieve overall improvement in space development efficiency, and effectively support the construction of a space power. How to promote the rapid and healthy development of commercial aerospace? Liu Jizhong suggested attracting and guiding commercial aerospace institutions to participate in major national science and technology projects, undertake scientific research projects, and accumulate technological achievements. Build a diversified funding support system, broaden commercial aerospace financing channels, strengthen the development of commercial aerospace application scenarios, cultivate market demand and industrial ecology, and avoid internal competition and homogeneous competition. At the same time, encourage enterprises to participate in international satellite launch bidding and explore international markets. (New Society)
