The space program of the People's Republic of China began in 1968 and was an outgrowth of China's attempt to develop an indigenous nuclear deterrent and delivery system after the Sino-Soviet split in 1960. China's first satellite, Dong Fang Hong I (The East Is Red I), was launched in 1970. There were over 50 Dong Fang Hong satellites launched over the next 30 years. 1968 was a leap year starting on Monday (the link is to a full 1968 calendar). ...

Organization
Initially the Chinese space program was organized under the People's Liberation Army, particularly the Second Artillery Corp. However, the Chinese space program was reorganized in the 1990s as part of a general reorganization of the Chinese defense industry to make it resemble Western defense procurement. The Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) (Traditional Chinese: 人民解放軍, Simplified Chinese: 人民解放军, pinyin: Rénmín Jiěfàng Jūn), which includes an army, navy, air force, and strategic nuclear forces, serves as the military of the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). ...
The agency responsible for the launches is the China National Space Administration, an agency within the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. The workhorse of the program is the Long March rocket which is produced by the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology and satellites are produced by the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. The latter organizations are state-owned enterprises, however it is the intent of the PRC government that they not actively be state managed and that they behave much as private corporations would in the West. The China National Space Administration (中国国家航天局) is the civilian agency within the Peoples Republic of China which is responsible for national space policy within the space program of China. ...

Goals China's space program has several goals. The first is to increase China's national prestige. The second is to develop China as a low cost satellite launcher. Third, the PRC has military goals which include use of space for reconnaissance and communication while denying the use of space to other militaries, namely that of the United States, in case of conflict. Finally, there is the ambitious goal of mining space for resources, namely the moon. Crust composition Oxygen 43% Silicon 21% Aluminium 10% Calcium 9% Iron 9% Magnesium 5% Titanium 2% Nickel 0. ...
