According to Aiqicha information, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Yiyi Aerospace, "Yiyi (Shanghai) Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd.", was established on July 20th with a registered capital of 10 million yuan and an address in Lingang New Area of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone.
Based on this, it can be inferred that the commercial rocket company Billion Aerospace (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. will invest in building a factory in the Lingang New Area of Shanghai. Once established, this will be the first reusable carrier rocket enterprise assembly and testing base and research and development center in Lingang, Shanghai.
The assembly and testing base and R&D center of Billion Aerospace, located in Lingang, are expected to undertake the assembly and integration testing of the first and backup arrows of the "Xuanniao-R" after production, supporting the subsequent mass launch capacity. This is the production capacity layout made by the hundred billion dollar aerospace company after entering the engineering verification stage, focusing on the first flight and subsequent mass launches of the "Xuanniao-R".
Taibo Network found through publicly available online channels that the Lingang adaptation carrier rocket final assembly testing project has been launched. After the completion of the final assembly of the large rocket body, it can be quickly transported to the port and directly transported to Shandong Haiyang Dongfang Aerospace Port by sea, perfectly matching the long-distance sea transportation needs of reusable rockets. The layout of 100 billion yuan aerospace in Shanghai Lingang will further enrich the upstream and downstream industrial chain of commercial aerospace in the Yangtze River Delta region. Shanghai has gathered over 240 key commercial aerospace enterprises, forming a; Rockets, satellites, terminals, services; The development ecology of the entire industry chain and the complete high-end manufacturing supporting system. At the same time, Shanghai has excellent talent reserves in the aerospace and related industries, and is accelerating the construction of a commercial aerospace advanced manufacturing cluster.

According to public information, Billion Aerospace is the first private enterprise in China to adopt the fully independent innovation of "high angle of attack aerodynamic deceleration" recovery technology for liquid carrier rockets. Its main product is the "Xuanniao-R" liquid oxygen methane carrier rocket. According to the disclosed plan, the company plans to carry out the first flight of "Xuanniao-R" in 2027, and subsequently deploy the "Aleye Shi" computing satellite in the morning and evening orbit based on this rocket.
In terms of launch support, the "Xuanniao-R" rocket will be transported by sea to Haiyang Dongfang Aerospace Port in Shandong Province for launch missions after completing final assembly and testing in Lingang. The "Xuanniao-R" will carry out its maiden flight on the Dongfang Aerospace Port 1 (HOS-1) - the first semi fixed rocket sea launch test platform in China. The hundred billion dollar aerospace has already completed technical interface docking with the launch site, and reached consensus on key links such as test launch control process and rocket body transportation.
