Chinese space program

The space program of the People's Republic of China is directed by the China National Space Administration (CNSA). Its technological roots can be traced back to the late 1950s, when China began a ballistic missile program in response to perceived American (and, later, Soviet ) threats. However, the first Chinese crewed space program only began several decades later, when an accelerated program of technological development culminated in Yang Liwei 's successful 2003 flight aboard Shenzhou 5 . This achievement made China the third country to independently send humans into space. Plans currently include a permanent Chinese space station in 2020 and crewed expeditions to the Moon .

The space program of the People's Republic of China was initiated soon after the country's founding in 1949. Eventually, this space program covers anti-ballistic missile system [ citation needed ] , anti-satellite weaponries [ citation needed ] , reconnaissance satellites , manned spaceflights , "space laboratories", space stations and spaceplanes , exploration of the Moon and Mars with probable plans for permanent bases.

The space program of the People's Republic of China was initiated at the behest of the Central Military Commission for fulfilling national needs. The potential military utility of space was the central reason for China embarking on its national space program since 1956 . The program was aimed at developing China's aviation, guided missiles, rockets and missile defense needs. Thus, the first products of its space programme were not Satellite Launch Vehicles (ch satellites , rather they were Ballistic Missiles like the Dongfeng -1 (DF-1), -2, -3, -4 and -5. Of these, the DF-4 and DF-5 became SLVs like the Changzheng -1 (CZ-1) and CZ-2 respectively. [1] Thus, PRC's first satellite, Dongfanghong I ( The East Is Red I), was launched only one and a half decades later in 1970, making China the fifth space-faring nation. The manned space program began in 1968, and China became the third country to put a human in space in 2003.

The space program of the People's Republic of China (PRC) began in 1956 with the cooperation of the USSR and continued as an indigenous nuclear deterrent program after the Sino-Soviet split in 1960.
