Recently, China's aerospace data asset management has achieved a milestone breakthrough. The "Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Satellite Application Platform Data" independently developed by Xi'an Zhongkesi Aerospace Technology Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Zhongkesi Aerospace") has successfully completed the asset certification, evaluation, and listing process, becoming the "first national practice of listing hyperspectral satellite data assets" with an estimated value of about 27 million yuan. This case has obtained asset certification from eight data trading institutions, including Beijing International Big Data Exchange, Guangzhou Data Exchange, Hangzhou Data Exchange, Guiyang Big Data Exchange, Shaanxi Silk Road Data Trading Center, Shanxi Data Trading Center, East China Jiangsu Big Data Trading Center, Fujian Data Exchange, etc. It marks the comprehensive connection of China's commercial aerospace data from "resources" to "assets", injecting strong momentum into the market-oriented allocation of data elements and the development of the national digital economy.
First order landing, establishing a "hardcore benchmark" for aerospace data assetization
The hyperspectral remote sensing data assets listed this time rely on the "sky space ground" integrated data acquisition system and full chain technology platform independently constructed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, achieving high spatial, high temporal, and hyperspectral "three-dimensional high-resolution" collaboration, with significant advantages such as independent controllability, high-frequency updates, and accurate identification. Compared with ordinary remote sensing data, its spectral bands can reach hundreds, which can give surface materials a "spectral identity card" and have irreplaceable industry value in professional fields such as agricultural monitoring, environmental governance, mineral resource exploration, and dual carbon management.
This entry into the table is not only a manifestation of the value of the enterprise's own digital assets, but also the industry's first benchmark case of completing the full process compliance entry into the table. It provides a replicable and promotable "practical sample" for the asset management of various remote sensing data, aerospace data, and even more types of data resources in the future.
Reshaping enterprise competitiveness from 'priceless data' to 'valuable assets'
For a long time, although data has been referred to as the 'oil of the new era', its value is often difficult to quantify and reflect in corporate financial statements. The successful promotion of hyperspectral data assets on the balance sheet by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation is a pioneering response and practice to the Interim Provisions on Accounting Treatment of Enterprise Data Resources issued by the Ministry of Finance, with profound significance.
For enterprises, the inclusion of data assets directly increases the scale of their assets, optimizes the structure of their balance sheets, and enhances the expected valuation in the capital market; At the same time, data assets with clear and confirmed ownership can be used as collateral or pledge targets, expanding the financing channels for enterprises and reducing financing costs. In addition, the process of data entry enables enterprises to establish a sound data governance system, promote the standardization and normalization of data lifecycle management, and further enhance the efficiency and security level of data operations.
For industries such as commercial aerospace, remote sensing applications, and data services, this move has explored a traceable path of "data resource utilization, resource productization, product assetization, and asset capitalization", promoting the industry's transformation and upgrading from relying on hardware manufacturing to "data value-added services", and cultivating new business growth poles.
For the digital economy, the inclusion of data assets in the table provides a value anchor and measurement basis for the construction of the data element market, which helps to promote the compliant circulation and efficient allocation of data in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, accelerate the formation of a market-oriented operation ecology for data elements, and consolidate the micro foundation for the high-quality development of China's digital economy.
Empowering thousands of industries, the application prospects of hyperspectral data are broad
The hyperspectral data assets of COSCO Aerospace have demonstrated strong empowering value in practical applications. In the field of agriculture, it can provide accurate data support for crop growth monitoring, pest and disease warning, yield evaluation, and agricultural insurance loss assessment and claims; In the field of environmental protection and dual carbon, relying on the first commercial point source methane monitoring satellite in China, precise positioning of methane emission sources and assessment of carbon neutrality capabilities can be achieved; In the field of mineral resources, it can assist in large-scale mineral identification, mining area environmental monitoring, and development risk assessment; In the field of disaster prevention and reduction, it can provide key information for monitoring, warning, and evaluation of disasters such as wildfires, floods, and landslides.
In the future, with the deepening of the process of data assetization and the improvement of the data element market, such high-value data assets will unleash their potential in more fields such as smart agriculture, ecological protection, urban governance, and financial services, promoting the deep integration of the digital economy and the real economy.
Leading standards, opening a new chapter in the marketization of data elements
The successful inclusion of the hyperspectral data assets of Zhongkesi Aerospace is not only an innovative practice at the enterprise level, but also a positive response to the national strategy of market-oriented allocation of data elements. It verifies the feasibility of assetization and capitalization of high-tech and high-value data resources through compliance processes, providing practical references for the development and improvement of industry standards and national regulations for data asset ownership, evaluation, registration, trading, and other processes.
As data officially becomes the fifth major production factor alongside land, labor, capital, and technology, how to activate the potential of data and unleash its value has become the key to economic transformation and upgrading. The landing of this "national first order" is like a shot in the arm, marking a new stage of "value realization" for the market-oriented operation of data elements in China's aerospace data and even broader fields. It has important exemplary significance and leading role in cultivating new quality productivity and building a modern industrial system.
