Wuhan Satellite Industrial Park Roofed

The roof of the main body of the Wuhan Satellite Industrial Park was recently completed after more than 180 days of construction by the Second Institute of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation Limited (CASIC).

Covering more than 70,000 square meters, the park includes six individual buildings and 5,000 underground engineering piles.

The roof completion was proof of the end of the park's first phase, which lays a solid foundation for the operation of the park set for September 2020.

The construction of the park started on Apr 24, 2019. It will be the world's first scientific research base to develop cloud-based micro satellite and a smart satellite industrial park integrating research and development, design, assembly, and testing.

It is expected that a hundred satellites could be produced at the park annually when it opens to service.
