Shandong Ocean Group Successfully Launches Satellite: Promoting Synergy in Maritime, Air and Space Technologies

On September 5, 2025, the "Shandong Ocean Group" satellite jointly launched by Shandong Ocean Group and Tianjin Yunyao Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. (Yunyao Aerospace) successfully lifted off from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in China and smoothly entered the designated orbit. This successful launch marks an important breakthrough for Shandong Ocean Group in the field of aerospace and paves the way for it to explore new development paths in the marine economy and technological innovation.

Promote the integrated development of sea, air and space sectors 

The staff of Shandong Ocean Group stated that as a provincial enterprise of Shandong Province, they have always adhered to the strategy of "making China a strong maritime nation and a strong aerospace nation", and are committed to promoting the deep integration of the marine economy and aerospace technology. The successful launch of the "Shandong Ocean Group No.1" satellite is another breakthrough for Shandong Ocean Group in the field of aerospace technology, demonstrating their ambition and strength in the high-tech sector. 

The successful launch of the satellite is not merely a technical achievement; it signifies that Shandong Ocean Group is accelerating the establishment of a new development pattern of "space, air and sea integration". Through cooperation with Yunyao Aerospace, Shandong Ocean Group will further promote the application of aerospace technology in fields such as marine economy, ocean transportation, and marine ranching. Particularly in areas like intelligent navigation of ships and ocean data collection, it will enhance its technological competitiveness in the global marine industry.

Chen Jiangguang, the deputy secretary of the Party committee, director and general manager of Shandong Ocean Group, Li Fenghui, the chairman and general manager of Yunyao Aerospace, and relevant leaders from the Liaison Group for Cooperation between Shandong and Gansu Province, among others, attended the event.

The deep integration of commercial spaceflight and marine economy 

Shandong Ocean Group, as a leading marine industry group in China, possesses strong technical capabilities in fields such as marine energy and shipping logistics. Through this in-depth cooperation with Yunyao Aerospace, Shandong Ocean Group not only achieved new breakthroughs in aerospace technology but also provided a brand-new platform support for future applications in the marine economy. 

The core detection payload of the satellite is the GNSS occultation payload, which can conduct real-time monitoring of the temperature, humidity, pressure of the atmosphere, as well as the electron density information of the ionosphere. This technology will have a profound impact in fields such as marine meteorology and ocean transportation, further promoting the strategic layout of Shandong Marine Group at the intersection of marine industries and aerospace technology. With the in-depth cooperation in satellite data services and marine industry applications, Shandong Marine Group will continue to exert efforts in technological collaborative innovation, capital investment, and industrial expansion. 

Provide new support for the strategy of becoming a maritime power 

The successful launch of this satellite is also an embodiment of Shandong Ocean Group's active implementation of the "Marine Powerhouse" strategy. As an important part of the marine power strategy, Shandong Ocean Group, through technological innovation and industrial collaboration, not only promoted the application of aerospace technology, but also provided new impetus for the modernization and high-quality development of China's marine economy. 

In the future, Shandong Ocean Group will continue to drive innovation as the main force, promoting the in-depth application of sea, air and space technologies in the marine economy. It will gradually form a new model of "integrated closed-loop development of technology research and industrial development". With capital as the link and technology as the engine, Shandong Ocean Group will continuously strengthen the large-scale application of aerospace technologies in fields such as ocean transportation and marine ranching, achieving the deep integration of commercial aerospace and marine industries, and promoting the digital transformation of the global marine economy. 

With the successful launch of the "Shandong Ocean Group" satellite, Shandong Ocean Group has taken a solid step forward in the aerospace field, and has also injected new impetus into its strategic layout in the global marine industry. In the future, Shandong Ocean Group will continue to develop along the direction of integrating aerospace, aviation and marine sectors, promoting the deep integration of technological innovation and industrial application, and contributing to the promotion of China's modernization and the construction of a maritime power.
