Storyline: The first satellite manufactured in the Xiong'an New Area of north China's Hebei Province has rolled off the production line, marking a breakthrough in the city's aerospace sector. Named Xiong'an-1, the satellite was completed on Wednesday at the smart satellite manufacturing pilot base of Blue Arrow Hongqing (Xiong'an) Space Technology. This milestone signifies a leap in Xiong'an's smart manufacturing capabilities in the aerospace information industry and is expected to attract more enterprises from the industrial chain, local authorities said. According to the company, the satellite features three technological innovations: a high-performance aboard computer, large flexible solar wings, and a new-generation electric propulsion system. These are designed to enhance computing power, energy supply, and propulsion efficiency, supporting the development of high-throughput, long-life, and intelligent communication satellites. Since its establishment in Xiong'an earlier this year, the company has received strong support from local authorities, including streamlined registration and an 80 million yuan (11 million U.S. dollars) investment from a local sci-tech fund, accelerating its research, development and production. As a leading future industry in Xiong'an, the aerospace information sector has already formed a relatively complete industrial chain hosting major players, like China Satellite Network Group. The Xiong'an New Area, located about 100 kilometers southwest of Beijing, was established on April 1, 2017. It aims to relieve Beijing of non-essential functions related to its status as the nation's capital. Shotlist: FILE: Xiong'an New Area, Hebei Province, north China - Date Unknown: 1.
