Our institute is responsible for the construction of the ground process system of the launch station, which is both an honor and a mission.CASC's AALPT subsidiary is building a launch site for "CZ-12 series" launchers in Jiuquan for CASC'S Commercial Rocket Company (also known as CACL, here abbreviated as 商火公司 for 商业火箭有限公司) subsidiary.CZ-12 series likely includes the CZ-12, the "CZ-12B" ("2-stage reusable 4-m class LV with Kerolox propulsion") and the "CZ-12A" ("4m class reusable launcher" (Methalox)). Back in April, CASC's Commercial Rocket Company sent a call for bid for the design and development of a launch site, this could be related, however the company that was in 1st position (西安航天神舟建筑设计院有限公司, Xi'an Aerospace Shenzhou Architectural Design Institute Co., Ltd, an AASPT-affiliated company) doesn't seem to be mentioned in yesterday's announcement.This would be the 4th launch site compatible with CZ-12 series launcher alongside HCSLC's LCC-2 and the future LCC-3 & LCC-4 pads for horizontally integrated launchers.It had previously been announced that the CZ-12 could be launched from all of China's inland launch centers.
The wind and sand of the Gobi Desert have witnessed the hardships of entrepreneurship and honed the foundation of success. On May 23, our institute held a kick-off meeting for the launch station construction project of the Commercial Aerospace Corporation and announced the establishment of a project team and a temporary party branch. Wang Zaigang is one of the subsystem leaders of the project team. In his view, being responsible for the construction of the ground gas supply system for the group company's first commercial space launch station is both an honor and a responsibility. "The Commercial Aerospace Corporation's launch station project is about to start, and our team will continue to carry forward the spirit of aerospace, strive to complete the launch station construction work by mid-October 2025, and make every effort to ensure the success of the first flight of the CZ-12 series rockets."
