What Zhongke Xingtu does

Zhongke Xingtu (中科星图, ticker 688568 on Shanghai STAR Market) is a Chinese aerospace information services company founded in 2006 and commercially operational since its 2020 IPO. The company is backed by the Aerospace Information Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and operates as a group holding company with 14+ wholly-owned subsidiaries spanning commercial aerospace, low-altitude economy, meteorological services, smart water, smart government, and special-domain digital Earth applications. Its core technology is the proprietary GEOVIS Digital Earth Platform (now in version 6), which aggregates data from 350+ satellites into a five-sphere Earth observation network covering electromagnetic, atmospheric, hydrospheric, lithospheric, and biospheric layers.

The company delivers its capabilities through three product pillars — low-altitude economy, commercial aerospace, and geographic information — powered by the GEOVIS Earth Brain Engine, the Xingtong Large Model (a multimodal AI foundation model), and the StarMap Cloud Platform serving 12,100+ enterprise developers and 16,600+ individual developers. The commercial aerospace wing includes Tianjian rocket electronic systems, Tianxing satellite electronics, the Star Eye 156-satellite perception constellation, and ground station networks. The low-altitude economy wing offers a comprehensive product stack covering planning, flight services, counter-drone defense, low-altitude meteorology, digital twin, and logistics — with 90+ cities served. Government enterprise sales, multi-year project contracts, cloud subscriptions, hardware sales, and channel partners form a hybrid revenue model, supplemented by a four-tier Ecological Partner program.

FY2024 revenue reached 3.257 billion CNY with net profit of 352 million CNY, employing over 1,000 staff of which 59% are R&D personnel with sustained R&D intensity above 20%. The company holds over 3,100 cumulative intellectual property rights and operates regional hubs in Beijing, Hefei (global HQ), Xiamen, Qingdao, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Chengdu, and Xining. In 2025 the company launched a 27-product 'One Body Two Wings' innovation matrix and established the Low Altitude Products Research Institute in Beijing, formalizing its strategic pivot toward low-altitude economy and commercial aerospace verticals.
