Wei Shubo, director of the comprehensive office of Changguang Satellite Technology Co., Ltd. said: "The whole process of privately funded commercial satellite launch has been started, and the state allows private companies to manufacture and launch satellites." In 20 15, his company launched China's first commercial satellite "Jilin No.1", which opened the curtain of China's commercial space flight. China has successfully launched dozens of commercial satellites.
Wei Shubo said: "Procedures are necessary to avoid signal conflicts between the satellite to be launched and more than 3,000 satellites in orbit around the world, including applying for radio frequency bands, radio business licenses and orbit registration."
Extended data:
Launching a private satellite requires at least four steps. First, we should build satellites, second, we should purchase rockets to carry them, third, we should coordinate satellite launch sites, and finally, we should pass through a series of satellites, emission process.
The whole journey takes about 3 months, and the formalities are not expensive. When Feng Lun's "Ma Fengniu No.1" was launched, an educational sharing satellite of Jiutian MSI Technology Development Co., Ltd. was also launched. This satellite has gone through all the procedures according to the commercial satellite launch process.
In fact, individuals usually don't go through the above procedures when launching satellites, and they usually entrust companies to do it. In jargon, it is called "procurement on-track delivery". "In other words, please ask professional organizations to solve all the' four steps' of launching satellites, and satellite sponsors only need to accept and use satellites that have been launched into the sky." Wei Shubo said.
After the satellite was launched. "Private commercial aerospace companies can be entrusted to establish ground monitoring and control stations, or existing monitoring and control stations can be rented." Dai Haitao said that "Junior Star One" has set up monitoring stations in Beijing No.4 Middle School and other schools, and teachers and students of the school can receive satellite signals or request satellite control.
"Private satellites will gradually appear, but they will not become a common phenomenon. In contrast, there are more names of satellites, and it may be more realistic and more common to purchase satellite data services in the future. " Wei Shubo believes that for individuals, satellite costs and satellite operations are both problems.
"Buying a satellite data service is about thousands to tens of thousands of yuan, while manufacturing and launching a micro-nano satellite costs several million yuan, and large satellites cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan. Therefore, few people actually buy private satellites or build a satellite like Feng Lun. "
Many industry experts said that commercial aerospace is an inevitable trend of aerospace development, although the business model is still in the exploration period and exploration period. "The existing launch bases and rockets can no longer meet the launch of commercial satellites. Many private enterprises are building commercial space launch sites and commercial rockets." Dai Haitao said.
