China’s First Commercial Space Star Alliance Marks 100 Days, Serving as the ‘Connector’ for Satellite Constellations
2026-07-01
The first commercial space star alliance in China held a ‘First 100-Day Sprint’ results briefing in Wuxi Liangxi, with representatives from over 20 shareholders including Galaxy Space, Space Transportation, MinoSpace, and Spacety attending. The alliance’s core logic is ‘not competing with peers, but connecting them’ — addressing the industry pain point where over 130 tracked constellation projects and more than 300,000 planned satellites exist in China, yet actual launch rates are below 0.1%. Instead of forming the 131st constellation, the alliance chooses to break down technical barriers between different constellations by unifying interface standards and data protocols, integrating scattered satellite networks into an efficient, collaborative global coverage grid. A rocket launched by Space Transportation in mid-July will be named ‘Star Alliance Number’. The alliance’s ‘breaking boundaries and building networks’ model is pioneering a new path for China’s commercial space industry, from isolated breakthroughs toward ecosystem-wide win-win cooperation.

国内首个商业航天星联体成立百日，做串联星座的“连接器”
国内首个商业航天星联体在无锡梁溪召开“首个百日攻坚”成果汇报会，银河航天、东方空间、微纳星空、天仪空间等20余家股东代表出席。星联体的核心逻辑是“不与自己人竞争，而是帮自己人连接”——面对国内可查星座计划超130个、规划卫星超30万颗但实际发射率不足0.1%的行业痛点，星联体选择不做第131个星座，而是通过统一接口标准与数据协议，打破不同星座间的技术壁垒，将分散的卫星网络整合成一张高效协同的全球覆盖网。东方空间7月中旬发射的火箭将冠名“星联体号”。星联体的“破圈与结网”模式，正在探索中国商业航天从“单点突破”迈向“生态共赢”的新路径。
