3rd World Summit on the Space Transportation Business in Paris

On May 17-18, 2001, representatives from China Great Wall Industry Corporation (CGWIC) participated in the 3rd World Summit on Space Transportation Business in Paris. Vice President Liu Zhixiong made a speech at the summit, introducing the strategies in response to the market changes and the current status of the Long March launch services.

The rapid development of communications satellite applications helps facilitate the commercial space transportation business in the world market. According to launch services market surveys by different organizations in 2000, an average of 25-30 satellites will be launched each year from 2001 to 2010; most of them are GEO communications satellites; the launch mass will be increased over 6,000 kg in GTO. To meet such challenges as a launch services provider in the launch services market, China Great Wall is ready to offer its launch services alternative to the customers.

Adapting to Market Changes in the Early 21st Century

In the early 21st century, the competition in the communications satellite market is like a fierce battle. There have been great changes in the criteria for selecting a launch vehicle. Currently, the reliability, performance, ability and flexibility of mission scheduling are always the top priority when a customer makes a decision, then consideration of the cost follows.

We have to adjust our marketing strategies in the light of such market changes, including:

To enhance reliability design, reduce the different types of launch vehicles. Right now, the LM-3 launch vehicle has been phased out. We will focus on upgrading and developing heavy-lift launch vehicles so as to satisfy the needs of the big GEO satellite market.
An 18-month lead time for the Long March launch vehicles has been achieved to match satellite delivery time in the market. The launch vehicle preparation at the launch site will be shortened to a 30-day period to complete the necessary tests. Namely, unit tests and subsystem tests which used to be performed at the technical center of the launch site will be completed prior to shipment to the launch site. System tests will be performed in the technical center upon the arrival of the launch vehicle at the launch site. Then a routine testing procedure at the launch complex follows. This newly established testing procedure will shorten the vehicle preparation time at the launch site without compromise on quality. We have achieved six launch missions a year, which demonstrated our ability and flexibility of mission scheduling.
We will continue offering the Long March launch services at competitive prices. The 23 consecutive successes in more than four years, including 8 LM-3A and LM-3B mission successes, will improve the premium rate of the Long March; and we will make our contractual terms and conditions more competitive according to customer's needs. All of the improvements will lower the cost to the entire program.

More than 40 years experience in the development of China's aerospace technology and over 10 years commercial practice have led to the development of a series of Long March launch vehicle models. We have accumulated rich experience by launching 24 commercial satellites from the U.S. and Europe, including Boeing, Loral, Lockheed Martin, Motorola and Alcatel. These launch missions have demonstrated that the Long March launch services are capable of meeting the needs of customers and satellite manufacturers.

Meeting the Challenges of the Big GEO Satellite Market

The LM-3B is the most powerful Long March launch vehicle for GTO launch missions. Its flight environment data measured at launcher and satellite interfaces comply with the acceptance test environment conditions specified in the ICD and User's Manual.

Three LM-3A launch mission successes were achieved in 2000.From the heritage point of view, the LM-3A and 3B fall into the same series because the LM-3B's critical systems are identical to those of the LM-3A, taking IMU, program command subsystem and engines for example. So far the LM-3A and 3B have accumulated 10 successful flights, which has built up our confidence for future launch missions. Of special note is that recently, we have been awarded two LM-3B launch contracts from Astrium and APT respectively. The contracts call for launching two communications satellites in 2002 and 2003 based on Astrium's EuroStar 2000+ and SS/L's FS1300 satellite buses. These contract awards indicate that LM-3B has been recognized by our customers.
To meet the challenges of the big GEO satellite market, a 4.2 meters fairing for LM-3B is under development. A fairing separation test was performed successfully last April. A final test --- static test is scheduled in October. The new fairing will be available to the market in 2002.
In addition, pad or processing building fairing encapsulation is available to the customers for the LM-3B launch vehicle so as to improve satellite environment conditions and facilitate launch operations at the launch site.

Development Plan for the Future

As one of the launch services providers for the world market, China Great Wall has always provided its Long March launch services in conformity with the rules of supply and demand in the marketplace and on a commercial model. In view of the big GEO satellite development in the future, and new requirements and new concepts from the customers, we are working out a long-term development plan to upgrade the reliability and launch capacity of the Long March launch vehicles. For the future programs, we have recently renovated the Xichang launch site hotel facilities for customer's team, refurbished processing facilities, constructed a new highway system for satellite transportation and multi-band RF link system, and improved the launch safety and communications system.

Conclusion

We feel confident in offering our quality launch services to the customers because we have been doing business in the space sector for over 40 years, achieved 65 launches, including 24 launch missions for international customers and 23 consecutive successes. We will continue working with our customers by providing competitive contractual terms and conditions; offering a complete and "no gap" risk management plan and financing support from the insurance and financial communities; enhancing launch vehicle reliability and the ability and flexibility of mission scheduling; further improving our quality assurance and launch safety system and services.
