Hong Kong Aerospace Technology Group's (HKATG) ASPACE Hong Kong Satellite Manufacturing Center is scheduled to hold its opening ceremony on July 25th, 2023. HKATG will invite senior representatives from space agencies and organizations, commercial partners, and government bodies from over 60 countries and regions around the world to attend the opening ceremony. The Hong Kong Satellite TT&C Center and Satellite Data Application Center will become fully operational, and the satellite R&D, manufacturing, testing, TT&C, and data application business segments of HKATG will commence operations.
The ASPACE Hong Kong Satellite Manufacturing Center, the first satellite manufacturing center in Hong Kong, is in the Advanced Manufacturing Center (AMC) of the Hong Kong Science Park in Tseung Kwan O and covers an area of approximately 200,000 square feet. It has intelligent, flexible, and mass production capabilities, and is also one of the world's largest intelligent, satellite manufacturing facilities. The ASPACE Hong Kong Satellite Manufacturing Center contains 18 subsystems and more than 200 pieces of equipment including a variety of comprehensive production line equipment covering overall satellite structure, optical positioning, vibration, mechanical performance, electromagnetic compatibility, thermal control, and precision. This guarantees the most comprehensive satellite production system and related aerospace products before leaving the factory.
After the ASPACE Hong Kong Satellite Manufacturing Center officially commences operation, it will gradually implement trial production, mass production, and full production planning, and will be able to open satellite design and manufacturing to global users. In full production mode, the ASPACE Hong Kong Satellite Manufacturing Center will have a production capacity of at least 200 satellites per year, covering commercial satellite products such as optical remote sensing satellites, radar remote sensing satellites, communication satellites, and navigation enhancement satellites. This will help enhance the overall production capacity of the international commercial aerospace market. The ASPACE Hong Kong Satellite Manufacturing Center intends to adhere to green production management and will strive to promote the long-term sustainable development of the global aerospace precision manufacturing industry.
