Can a pair of socks be sold for 500 yuan? These are not limited editions from top luxury brands, but functional sports socks developed with high technology. Recently, the socks produced by a company in Hangzhou became famous after the “Shenzhou 10” flight.
Space socks have high technological content
The reporter yesterday contacted a socks manufacturing company in Zhejiang located in the Hangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. This is an enterprise specializing in the development and production of sports socks. The company was not well-known to the public before because its products have always been mainly for foreign trade, supplying OEM products to big foreign brands.
According to reports, the socks worn by astronauts are not made of common cotton materials, but specially made of wool and composite fibers. This type of socks can be subdivided into three types: astronaut training, space use, and rehabilitation. Although socks are simple to put on, they are actually very particular in function and involve subjects such as ergonomics and biomechanics. Socks worn by astronauts must be made of light, breathable materials that can promote blood circulation in the human body.
Orders for ride-hailing “Shenshi” are booming
How much can a pair of astronaut-specific socks cost? The person in charge revealed that because the space socks are specially developed for astronauts and involve technical secrets, the product has not been put on the market and the price cannot be calculated. Considering the investment in R&D, design and materials, the cost is naturally high. The high-end hiking socks and ski socks developed by the company also have high requirements in terms of materials and technology. These socks can be sold for 500 yuan a pair. The sports technology city they built in Xiasha is about to be put into use. They plan to build an authoritative sports socks creative research and development center, supply chain service center, product testing center, etc., and launch their own brands.
Return on investment in aerospace reaches ten times
The manned aerospace project is a system project involving a wide range of areas and involving huge investments. It has many supporting product companies. Participating in aerospace engineering has greatly improved the technical level, brand awareness, market expansion and other aspects of these enterprises. Some estimates show that every 1 yuan invested in the aerospace field will generate a return of about 10 yuan. 80% of my country’s more than 1,100 new materials were developed under the guidance of space technology. At present, nearly 2,000 space technology achievements have been applied in communications, textiles, petroleum, transportation, medical and other industries, and are changing people’s lives.
