China's first sea rocket launch home port

At present, China has a number of solid launch vehicles that can be launched at sea, such as the Long March 11, Jielong 3 and Ceres 1 carrier rockets. Sea launch undoubtedly has a variety of advantages, it can break the restrictions of the launch station, not only can save a lot of land resources, but also can flexibly choose the launch point and landing area, can better meet the diversified needs of the future constellation network for rocket launch.

The launch site, Haiyang Dongfang Spaceport, is the first home port for launching rockets at sea, and it is also the only base in China that can both assemble and launch rockets. The major project of Haiyang Dongfang Spaceport has a total investment of 23 billion yuan and a total planning area of 18.6 square kilometers. It takes "one port and three regions" as the basic framework, "one port" is the Marine launch technology service port, and "three regions" include the space industry manufacturing park, the space industry supporting park, and the space practical culture and tourism park. Strive to build a commercial aerospace high-tech industrial cluster integrating research and development, manufacturing, launch, application, supporting, and cultural travel within 5 years.

High-performance metal enclosure system escorts the space flight

Wiskind Architectural Steel also had the honor to participate in the Haiyang Dongfang Spaceport equipment plant project, the factory perimeter protection system used Wiskind COLORGOLD® sandwich panel, full high-density hydrophobic rock wool core material, to meet the strict fire protection needs.

The patented double support splice structure and 3D reinforced gasket ensure the strength and flatness of the groove and groove after installation, so that it has good wind resistance, and fully support the application of the 60-meter-high sandwich panel wall in the seaside class A site of this project.

In addition to superior functionality, the blue and white facade also echoes the blue sky and white clouds, and the simple and atmospheric shape makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The plates are prefabricated by the factory and can be quickly installed when transported to the site, which realizes the efficiency and accuracy of prefabricated buildings. It can also greatly reduce the production of construction waste and pollutants, in line with the concept of sustainable development.

Peroration

In the past half a century, China's space industry has reached the world's advanced level through self-reliance and independent innovation, and has made a series of achievements that attract worldwide attention. Many countries have also applied to participate in the cooperation project of China's space station, and jointly promote the cause of mankind to reach a new peak! As a leading metal envelope manufacturer and service provider in the industry, wiskind architectural steel will also uphold the mission of "technology and innovation enable green buildings", continue to upgrade technology and process breakthroughs, and help the high-quality development of China's space industry!
