The Chinese will collect space and satellites as easily and quickly as cars. Moreover, Chinese people use the principles that their main economic competitors have invented – Ford (conveyor) of the US and Toyota (Lean production) of Japan.
Traditionally, the aerospace industry around the world has worked like this. The components for space and launch vehicles are manufactured according to complicated forecasts and graphs. Each missile and each satellite are created by hand by a technical masterpiece. But now the demand for satellite and reusable missiles is increasing exponentially. No longer can collect each ship. Need a conveyor.
This is a new model invented in China. Instead of promoting conveyor parts, the components are only taken from suppliers when necessary at the final assembly stage and strictly needed. Each new stage in the supply chain is only given by signal from the previous stage. Therefore, the rocket engine, solar panel and printed circuit board are performed perfectly according to the starting schedule.
– This is a revolution in industrial production! – Speaking Van Gotsin, Director of Information Technology of the Chinese Aerospace Science and Technology Group (CASS).
Van claims that the global space race has been transmitted from the experiments of whether we can build it into a reliable parallel product of some models. Moreover, new production principles change the structure of the Chinese space area.
There have been a series of suppliers with more autonomy. Now everything is built on the principle of strict decentralization: strict control, planning and no failure. Imagine the Soviet State Planning Committee and the National Assembly, only working for the Chinese space industry.
A single digital platform has been created in China, unified research institutes, state -owned enterprises, laboratories and small private suppliers throughout the country. This platform, using advanced technologies – cloud systems, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI) and digital dual technology. It serves as a digital advertising ad and an interactive control panel for the entire supply chain in the country's aerospace industry. It allows you to identify narrow locations in real time, send notifications about missing details and provide instant data exchange. Moreover, all this is completely transparent. And there is no intervention of officials!
Some Gigafrics also operate in the Chinese space industry. These are huge assembly centers under the control of artificial intelligence. They can be quickly configured to assemble some types of missiles on one line.
Only in this way can Chinese people recognize their Govan and Qianfan watches – tens of thousands of satellites will provide internet and telecommunications for orbit. Suppose, only “Qianfan” will require 15,000 satellites until 2030.
To achieve such ambitious goals, China is quickly increasing the frequency of missile launching. Although so far has lag behind the United States, this is temporary. In 2024, 158 launches were carried out in the United States, mostly SpaceX, while China launched 68 missiles.
According to the researchers, by 2045, the trajectory volume could reach 170 thousand tons of load per year. However, no one doubts that China itself will dominate: ultimately, unlike Americans, he has found the production capacity of expanding scale. That is, SpaceX is still (as in the Soviet Union) producing missiles completely. And Chinese people can easily produce at least hundreds, at least thousands of missiles – have been proficient in new production principles, you can increase the endless rate. This is the principle of the Viking's expansion ability in action, valve Gotsin explained.
