CCTV News: At 0:38 on March 12, the first launch of the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Station was a complete success. The Long March 8 Yao-6 carrier rocket sent the fifth batch of networked satellites of the Qianfan Constellation into the predetermined orbit by "one arrow and eighteen stars".

With the successful launch mission of the No. 1 station, the launch capability of my country's first commercial space launch site has also been fully verified. How is this different from a traditional launch site? How to meet the current various commercial rocket launch needs?

CCTV reporter Li Ning: This is Wenchang, Hainan. I am now at the No. 1 launch station of Hainan Shangfa, 83 meters above the ground. You can see its "new three-sided" mode crane next to it.

We can see its No. 2 work station, which was the station that launched the Long March 12 before.

That piece is its assembly factory, and many commercial aerospace companies are in that area now. I think it should be the best place to watch space launches at present, because its entire area is very large and it is an open launch site. In any corner, you can basically see the rocket launch.

Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site is located in Wenchang International Space City in Hainan Free Trade Port, which can provide launch support for my country's commercial space missions and the construction of low-orbit satellite Internet.

Yang Tianliang, Chairman of Hainan International Commercial Space Launch Co., Ltd.: Establishing a launch site actually solves the problem of means to enter space, and in the future, it provides you with more opportunities to enter space. Many business formats or some work that we cannot imagine now are carried out in space.

After the completion of the second phase of the project by the end of 2026, the Hainan Commercial Space Launch Site will add an annual launch capacity of 30-40 rounds per year, with an annual total launch capacity of more than 60 rounds.
