Financing scale hits a new record
EqualOcean (亿欧) reported on April 2 that recently,Tianjin Yunyao Aerospace Technology Co., Ltd. (天津云遥宇航科技有限公司)(hereinafter referred to as the "Company" or "Yunyao Aerospace (云遥宇航)") Completed B+ round strategic financing, with financing amount exceeding 500 million RMB,The financing scale sets a financing record in the commercial meteorological satellite sector..
This round of financing was led byYuekai Capital (粤开资本), Essential Capital (元航资本), Plum Ventures (梅花创投), Hongfu Assets (鸿富资产), and other well-known strategic investment institutions jointly invested, and existing shareholders continued to increase their investment., while also attracting the participation of some listed companies.
Yunyao Aerospace (云遥宇航) told EqualOcean that the funds raised this time will be mainly invested in three core directions:
First, accelerate the manufacturing and network launch process of the "Yunyao Space Mapper" (云遥气象星座) multi-payload satellites;
Second, strengthen the development capabilities for commercial SAR payloads and whole-satellite manufacturing, and enhance the level of self-reliance and controllability of core technologies;
Third, deeply tap into the application value of meteorological data, and use systems and products such as new energy power forecasting, power trading, and meteorological navigation as key levers to expand the global commercial market layout.
Full-chain layout: Launching 47 satellites, data enters national business systems for the first time
Since its establishment, Yunyao Aerospace (云遥宇航) has grown into a backbone force in the domestic commercial meteorological satellite sector.
As one of the few enterprises in China with full-chain commercial satellite service capabilities, Yunyao Aerospace (云遥宇航) has achieved systematic breakthroughs in cost reduction and efficiency improvement, payload performance optimization, and data processing accuracy enhancement, building integrated capabilities covering hardware payloads, supporting components, satellite manufacturing, data processing, data application, and system setup.
In terms of constellation construction, the company has successfully sent 47 satellites into a low Earth orbit 535 km from the ground. All satellites carry self-developed radio occultation detection payloads, continuously and stably providing high-precision meteorological observation data for the world.
The series of satellites from Yunyao Aerospace (云遥宇航) have been integrated into the comprehensive meteorological observation system of the China Meteorological Administration and achieved operational operation..
This is the first time commercial small satellite data has been approved to enter the operational system of the China Meteorological Administration (中国气象局)., providing effective support for our country's meteorological forecasting and prediction.
Hardcore Breakthrough: Domestic Capability for Overall Development of the First Commercial SAR Payload
In the hardware sector, Yunyao Aerospace (云遥宇航) has been deeply engaged in the SAR payload field for five years and has built full-chain R&D capabilities ranging from system design and simulation, component development, assembly and testing, to flight imaging.
Thanks to its deep accumulation of aerospace engineering technology, the company achieved the successful launch of China's first commercial SAR satellite in September 2024.
After multiple rounds of technical refinement, the core components of the payload are fully autonomous and controllable. The payload cost is significantly lower than market levels, and performance metrics lead the domestic commercial sector. With excellent cost-effectiveness, we provide users with agile and efficient payload delivery services.
Value Realization: Validated through over 1,000 voyages, new energy forecast accuracy improved by 7%
In terms of data application, it covers multiple strategic emerging fields such as ocean shipping, new energy power forecasting, rocket launches, satellite-to-ground link assurance, and the low-altitude economy. Since its launch in 2024, the company's self-developed global ocean meteorological navigation system has successfully served over a thousand voyages.
Relying on the domestically leading scale of the autonomous commercial meteorological satellite constellation, and utilizing the award-winning satellite-ground interconnected big data intelligent fusion assimilation algorithm, we achieve a comprehensive improvement in the accuracy of wind and solar power prediction. The average accuracy of single-station prediction can be increased by up to 7%, solving the pain points of forecasting in complex power scenarios. With ultra-precise new energy intelligent forecasting capabilities, we provide all-around technical support for scientific decision-making in power trading and the efficient and safe accommodation of the power grid.
Global Vision: Serving the "Belt and Road", Moving Towards a World-Class Meteorological Operator
With the steady progress of constellation construction, Yunyao Aerospace (云遥宇航) plans to provide high-precision commercial meteorological data services with a timeliness better than 20 minutes to countries jointly building the "Belt and Road", promoting the deep integration of China's commercial aerospace capabilities into key fields such as global disaster prevention and mitigation, agricultural meteorology, and navigation and aviation.
The successful closing of this round of financing marks the capital market's high recognition of Yunyao Aerospace (云遥宇航)'s technical strength, business model, and development prospects..
The company will rely on this round of financing to continue accelerating the networking process of the "Yunyao Space Mapper" (云遥气象星座), building a global commercial meteorological observation network featuring high resolution, high precision, full scale, and multiple payloads, and steadily advancing towards the goal of becoming a world-class commercial meteorological operator.
To the stars and the sea, never stop moving forward; the wind and clouds are predictable, the future has arrived.
