Beijing Shenzhou Aerospace Software Technology

What Beijing Shenzhou Aerospace Software Technology does

Beijing Shenzhou Aerospace Software Technology Co., Ltd. (北京神舟航天软件技术股份有限公司), branded as 神软 and traded on the Shanghai STAR Market under stock code 688562, is the directly-controlled software and IT services subsidiary of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC), a SASAC state-owned enterprise. The company operates three core business lines — independent software products, information technology services, and information system integration — and also serves as CASC's official software R&D center, the software engineering and digital technology development and management center for China's manned spaceflight program, and a Beijing municipal industrial software industry demonstration base.

The independent software products segment spans three sub-areas. Foundational software includes the Shentong relational database with proprietary IP and standard SQL/ODBC/JDBC/OLEDB/ADO/.NET interfaces, the Shenzhou embedded real-time operating system (minimum 8KB kernel, microsecond interrupt response, native support for domestic aerospace processors), and the Shenzhou embedded IDE. Industrial software is organized around the AVIDM product collaborative development platform, comprising AVPLAN project management, AVPDM product data management, AVMPM process management, AVMES manufacturing execution, AVKMS knowledge management, AVFMS digital archives, and AVIBD industrial big data modules. Business management software includes full-level supplier management, total quality management, financial management, asset management, and a "three-importance-one-major" decision system aligned with Chinese state-owned enterprise governance requirements. The information technology services segment provides classified-network cloud computing (15,000 CPU cores, 1.5PB distributed storage), IT operation and maintenance, and digital party-government portal operations. The information systems integration segment delivers defense/aerospace infrastructure projects and Xinchuang (domestic IT) integration services across CPU, operating system, server, storage, and security stacks.

The company primarily serves national defense and military clients (notably the CASC group ecosystem including the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology and the China Academy of Space Technology), central government agencies (Ministry of Public Security, SASAC, State Taxation Administration), and select large enterprises in finance, telecom, and commercial aerospace (COMAC for the C919 program, China Shipbuilding Group). It holds CMMI Level 5, Information System Construction and Service Capability Excellent Level (CS4), Class A confidentiality integration qualification, national high-tech enterprise certification, and an AAA enterprise credit rating, supported by 88 invention patents and 823 software copyrights. Revenue is generated via project-based pricing for software licenses, recurring IT services subscriptions, and large-scale system integration contracts through an enterprise direct sales motion targeting large institutional customers.
