OGC China Space Industry Reports

Orbital Gateway Consulting (OGC) is the global leader in Chinese space industry research. With a team of China experts based in Beijing, Hong Kong, and Seoul, we have been covering China’s growing space industry since 2016, with clients including Governments, Space Agencies, and others who need to understand the nuances of this opaque and strategically important area. 

Orbital Gateway Consulting (OGC) has developed over several years a series of deep-dive reports on the most critically important topics in the Chinese space sector. Updated annually, these reports provide unmatched detail on China’s leading launch vehicle, satellite, and laser communications terminal manufacturers, NGSO constellation operators, and space industrial bases. Our reports are built from the ground up, with a strong focus on supply chain, industrial relationships between companies, and mapping connections between operators, financiers, and political backers, allowing us to have a holistic understanding of this highly opaque corner of the space industry.

At OGC, we recognize the limitations and nuances of finding and verifying information from China. Our China reports leverage thousands of Chinese-language sources, providing the reader with a thorough and transparent picture of critical issues in Chinese space, while prioritizing accuracy and traceability of source information. Our research spans public domain information, Chinese space industry conferences, interviews with actors in the field in China, and other means of collecting intelligence.
