In the weeks leading up to the Zhuhai Airshow in November 2024, China unveiled two new commercial cargo spacecraft for the Chinese Space Station: Haolong-1 (designed by AVIC), and Qingzhou (developed by Shanghai Microsat aka SECM). These two spacecraft were selected after a public request for proposals, which included bids from commercial companies - a first for China and for its human spaceflight agency CMSA.
In this video, we discuss the characteristics of these two spacecraft, how they are transforming the Chinese space program's procurement process, and the factors behind the selection of the two final tender winners.
