On November 25, 2025, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) released a two-year action plan to fuel the country's commercial space industry and ramp up global cooperation 🚀
Dubbed the "go global" initiative, the plan invites private space firms to partner with the CNSA, support developing nations in building satellite-application industries, and integrate commercial projects into China's international cooperation agenda.
🔍 Key highlights:
- Expanded access to tracking, telemetry and control (TT&C) stations, data-receiving sites and test facilities
- Open competition for commercial players to join advanced programs in propulsion, satellite platforms and integrated applications
- Creation of a national commercial space development fund and broader government procurement of commercial services
- Local tech-innovation centers focused on reusable rockets, smart satellites and advanced manufacturing
- Unified space standards, shared space-debris data for collision warnings and new commercial launch sites
- Support for space resource utilization, on-orbit servicing, debris removal, space tourism and in-space biomanufacturing
The CNSA aims to kick off high-quality development of commercial space by 2027, placing the sector among strategic emerging industries in the 15th Five-Year Plan. For entrepreneurs and investors, this means fresh opportunities in launch services, satellite tech and global partnerships 🌐✨
As China's commercial space landscape gears up for takeoff, the message is clear: get ready to explore new frontiers, both in orbit and across borders!
