Haiyang Sea Launch Port

Haiyang Sea Launch Port is a dedicated maritime spaceport infrastructure located in Shandong Province, China. It functions as a specialised logistics and technical hub within the aerospace value chain, providing the land-based assembly, testing, and loading facilities required for sea-based satellite delivery missions. The facility serves as the home port for mobile launch vessels that transport solid-fuel rockets into the Yellow Sea for offshore ignition. The site is central to China's Eastern Aerospace Port project and supports the maritime operations of the Long March 11 (Chang Zheng 11) launch vehicle. It provides a strategic alternative to land-based sites by allowing for flexible launch trajectories and safer debris zones over open water. Customers include domestic commercial satellite operators and state-backed research institutions requiring low-inclination orbital injections. Prospective partners should verify the facility's specific technical interface requirements for payload integration and the regulatory protocols governing maritime safety. Due to its status as a critical infrastructure project, buyers must confirm all applicable international export control restrictions and the specific vessel scheduling availability for commercial windows. Operational oversight is managed through regional administrative bodies in conjunction with national space authorities.
