On June 15, the final round of the Third Xiong'an Aerospace Information Innovation Technology Competition officially opened in Xiong'an New Area, Hebei Province, China, as part of the Third Xiong'an Future City Scenario Summit. The competition is one of the flagship events of the initiative, focusing on technological innovation and practical applications in satellite internet, launch vehicles, the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System, and integrated aerospace information technologies.
This year's competition features three main categories: key satellite and launch vehicle technologies, satellite terminals and new application scenarios, and new large-scale application scenarios for the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System. The event aims to provide a platform for technological innovation, industrial collaboration, commercialization of research, and investment matchmaking.
Since applications opened in December 2025, the competition has attracted 264 projects from 17 provinces and municipalities across China, as well as international participants. More than 50% of the submissions came from outside Hebei Province, while 10 projects were submitted from overseas, including Hong Kong and Macao. Following expert evaluation, 118 projects advanced to the finals.
Among the finalists is Geopolariton Tomographic Systems, an innovative deep subsurface exploration technology developed by Hebei DSF-GEOS Technology Co., Ltd. According to the competition organizers, it is the first technology of its kind in China and represents a breakthrough in deep underground exploration.
The technology enables the high-precision detection and quantitative assessment of deep mineral resources, as well as the identification of concealed geological hazards that may pose risks during the construction and operation of infrastructure projects. According to the organizers, its positioning accuracy significantly surpasses that of conventional geophysical exploration methods.
The organizers also noted that the technology has already been successfully deployed in multiple locations across China, including mining operations and water conservancy engineering projects.
According to the competition organizers, this year's finalist projects demonstrate a high level of technological sophistication, strong innovation capabilities, and excellent readiness for practical deployment. Collectively, they cover the entire aerospace information industry value chain, including satellites, launch vehicles, semiconductor chips, terminals, applications, and data services.
The National Mine Safety Administration Key Laboratory of Transparent Geology and Digital Twin Technology for Mines has proposed the concept of building a “dual geological safeguard” system for mine safety and, for the first time, has established a structured model. According to the research team led by Professor Hu Tianbao of the China Coal Geology Administration, the “dual geological safeguard” framework for mine safety consists of a transparent geological support system and a hidden disaster-inducing factor investigation and control system. The initiative focuses on the high-quality development of mining exploration technologies and equipment, promoting the engineering application of multiple innovative technologies. Among these, geopolariton tomography technology has been implemented in projects in Shaanxi, Shandong, Qinghai, and other regions, achieving a vertical detection error of no more than 2.25% for strata shallower than 3500 m. The AI-integrated multi-parameter measurement-while-drilling platform for mining enables underground dynamic formation testing, real-time lithology and fluid identification, and accurate monitoring of underground operating conditions. In addition, rod-less precise directional fast drilling technology and equipment can meet the demand for long-distance, multi-dimensional underground exploration under complex working conditions in a single drilling run. Professor Hu Tianbao stated that the construction of the “dual geological safeguard” system aims to systematically enhance the geological safety level of mines and provide solid support for the intelligent and green development of the mining industry. It is one of the key research directions in the laboratory’s development plan for the 15th Five-Year Plan period and has already been reviewed and approved by an academic committee led by academicians. It is reported that the National Mine Safety Administration Key Laboratory of Transparent Geology and Digital Twin Technology for Mines is jointly established by the National Mine Safety Administration and the China Coal Geology Administration, serving as a high-end scientific research platform dedicated to mine safety nationwide.
