In the Chinese mainland’s Sichuan Province, Meishan is shaping up as the site of a new satellite industry city. Officials recently approved a commercial satellite ground station—the largest in Sichuan—setting the stage for a full-scale aerospace ecosystem.
Yang Zhenyu, deputy general manager of Huantian Wisdom Technology Co., Ltd., which is behind the project, told Xinhua that the new station “completes the last piece of Meishan’s aerospace industry layout.” Observers note that Meishan will join a select group of hubs on the Chinese mainland offering end-to-end services in satellite research and development, monitoring and control, application, and data transmission.
Business and tech enthusiasts should keep an eye on Meishan: the city’s growing infrastructure opens doors to R&D partnerships, startup opportunities, and wider access to commercial satellite networks. As the Chinese mainland pushes forward its commercial satellite ambitions, Meishan could soon emerge as a go-to destination for space tech innovation.
For travelers and digital nomads, Meishan’s evolution into a space technology hotspot adds a unique angle to the city’s cultural landscape—merging aerospace prestige with local charm.
