The Chinese Space Program is a significant initiative by China to explore space and develop advanced technologies. It began in the 1950s and has since achieved remarkable milestones, including launching its first satellite, Dong Fang Hong 1, in 1970. The program has expanded to include crewed missions, lunar exploration, and plans for a space station.
In recent years, the program has gained international attention with successful missions like the Chang'e lunar exploration series and the Tianwen-1 Mars mission. The Tiangong space station, currently under construction, aims to support long-term human presence in space and foster international collaboration in scientific research.
