This is the revenue of China's take-off space communication service, and another space data service is not included.
In addition to three communication satellites, China Tengfei also operates two resource exploration satellites for land surveying, energy exploration, and other remote sensing data.
Because the satellite carries a small orbit changing engine, it can change the orbit and position at any time, so the two satellites have high flexibility.
Coupled with the highly sensitive optical lens, the mission flexibility of these two satellites is extremely strong.
Because of this, many countries' energy exploration, urban planning, road construction, mineral development, environmental assessment and other preliminary data analysis and collation work have been handed over to China Tengfei for processing.
However, many countries are more concerned about the situation of their neighbors or their own neighbors, while their own countries are rarely involved.
For example, Pakistan's general staff asks China to take off every year to provide them with a series of complex and diverse data analysis reports on urban construction, road increase, environmental change and even personnel gathering in Northwest New Delhi.
The reason given is that Pakistan can better evaluate the investment value of Northwest New Delhi through these data analysis reports.
In addition, the Royal Privy Council of Thailand is also very interested in the roads, transportation hubs, port construction and mineral development of Myanmar and Vietnam. Almost every half month, it asks China Tengfei to provide them with updated data analysis reports
The reason is to ensure the safety of Thailand's investment in these two countries.
Similar reasons also appear in Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries. It seems that they are not interested in the flowers and plants on their land except for the departments of land and resources, environmental protection and geological exploration.
In this regard, adhering to the principle of peaceful use of space resources and never engaging in space militarization, China's take-off signed a series of additional agreements with various countries and organizations on the peaceful use of outer space resources, and then released the destination data analysis required by these countries and organizations.
After all, they are also for investment. What can China do for its proper civil behavior? As for the money that these investments will throw down in the future is still missiles, it depends on the conscience of these countries and organizations. In other words, China's take-off is not the parents of these countries. How can it manage so much.
Since the so-called "investment" interests of these countries and organizations are huge, the data analysis report of China's take-off is also expensive.
Generally according to the accuracy of 10 meters, 5 meters, 2 meters are divided into three grades.
The monthly data report of key areas with an accuracy of 10 meters is US $500000 each; The monthly data report of key areas with an accuracy of 5 meters is US $1 million each; The monthly data report of key areas with an accuracy of 2m is US $2 million each.
Data analysis with an accuracy of less than 2 meters is natural, but the price should be doubled.
As for those with an accuracy of less than 1 meter, I'm sorry, the two satellites in China's orbit can't achieve such a high accuracy. If you want, you can ask the Americans.
Under normal circumstances, data analysis reports of general countries and international organizations for the purpose of investment should have an accuracy of 5 meters.
If you want to do some disconnection operation, you can improve the accuracy to 2m.
For example, Pakistan in the first half of the year, because of the border conflict with New Delhi, was directly upgraded to the accuracy of two meters, and required to update a data analysis report every 24 hours.
To this end, China launched a small rocket engine on a resource exploration satellite, implemented the maneuver orbit change technology, stayed over South Asia for a full month and a half, and formed a 24-hour reconnaissance network with another resource exploration satellite in normal operation.
To this end, Pakistan has paid US $150 million for data analysis and orbital transformation consumables to China.
Add in Indonesia's urgent data analysis due to East Timor's discord with Australia; Thailand's demand for a series of actions to speed up the data update frequency; UAE, because of the real-time analysis data required by Iran's new port construction, China's revenue in aerospace data analysis services has reached 462 million US dollars in the whole year.
This has created a miracle, that is, in the case of a huge loss of US $6 million in the international space launch business, rocket and satellite R & D and manufacturing business throughout the year, the total revenue of China's space business exceeds US $600 million, and the profit is as high as US $450 million, with a profit margin of 75%.
Looking at the absurdly high profit margin, China's take-off can be regarded as knowing why the developed countries have sharpened their heads to drill into the service industry, especially the high-end service industry. They really don't sweat and suffer, so they can make a lot of money comfortably.
In contrast, the painstaking way of making shirts and assembling components can't earn a lot of money. On the contrary, it lowers the quality of life. Of course, no one wants them.
The problem is that if you want to enter the high-end service industry, you must have high-end manufacturing industry. If you want to have high-end manufacturing industry, you must develop from low to high.
China's space business can still achieve revenue breakthrough and counterattack through space service business after it is incorporated into the XXX bill of a big country outside the region. It is also a little bit developed from the aviation model.
Of course, flexible business philosophy is also an important aspect. Otherwise, how can other aerospace production units suffer losses everywhere, and how can China take off with a unique scenery?
Is it China's advanced technology to take off?
To tell you the truth, whether it's communication satellites or resource exploration satellites, China's take-off uses mature technologies familiar to the domestic aerospace industry. Let alone China's take-off as a rookie, it can be built by any qualified aerospace enterprise or unit.
As for launch, China's take-off has yet to complete the research and development of its own rocket, so it can only entrust other space units and launch sites to launch at its own expense.
There is no discount at all. They are all paid according to the international market price.
The problem is that this set of equipment is also a mature technology and product widely used in China, and it is not the original creation of China's take-off.
The only difference is that China Tengfei applied for the first domestic commercial satellite independent operation license, and effectively integrated its own satellites with its own unmanned aerial vehicles and manned aerial vehicles, so as to form a perfect closed-loop product of aerospace and aviation, and realize a perfect benign development ecology.
In other words, it's too narrow to focus on how to make money from China's take-off space business. In fact, the playing method of China's take-off is the same as that of the U.S. military's abuse of Iraq in the Gulf War. It's not a one-to-one 1v1 of weapons at all, but a collision between a complete system and a fragmented collection of individuals.
Based on its aviation business in the early years, China Tengfei has also formed an unparalleled system with its aerospace business. In this way, China Tengfei, like Microsoft and Dell today, can not only earn a share of money on the terminal, but also earn customers' money in system maintenance, data upgrade, business management and other services in the future.
