Great Achievements in China's Space Technology

Research on space weather forecasting and related international cooperation have also been carried out in recent years. In the late 1980s, recoverable remote-sensing satellites were employed for various kinds of aerospace scientific experiments, and have yielded satisfactory achievements in crystal and protein growth, cell cultivation, and crop breeding.

Innovative achievements have been scored in the study of basic theory of space science. The establishment of advanced and open state-level laboratories specializing in space physics, micro-gravity and space life science, and the founding of the Space Payload Application Center provide the country with the basic ability to support aerospace scientific experiments.

The "SJ" group has been used in recent years to detect charged particles in terrestrial space and their effects. In addition, the first micro-gravity space experiment on double-layer fluid was accomplished, in which remote operation of space experiments was realized.

With the establishment and improvement of China's socialist market economic mechanism, the state guides the development of space activities through macro-control, makes overall plans for the development of space technology, space application, and space science, and promotes the R&D (research and development) and system integration of important space technologies and the application of space science and technology in the fields of economy, science and technology, culture, and national defense.

The state has also carried out reforms in the space science and technology industry to achieve sustainable development in the space industry. The state has strengthened legislation work and policy management, enacted laws and regulations, and promulgated industrial policies for the space industry to ensure orderly and standardized development of space activities.
