"National Civil Space Infrastructure Plan is advancing steadily. So far, 23 satellites have been formally approved as projects to be put into construction, and upon completion, they will provide quantified, long-term and steady services with high accuracy for territorial resources survey, environmental protection, weather forecast, disaster prevention and relief, marine monitoring and transportation."

China has made great strides in space science, technology and application over the past year, said a spokesman of China National Space Administration (CNSA) at a press conference in Beijing on Thursday.

The press conference was held to celebrate China's Space Day which falls on April 24. Li Guoping, the spokesman, introduced that a total of 25 launches have been completed and 53 satellites have been sent to the space since April 24, 2017.

China launched its first cargo spacecraft, Tianzhou-1, into space in April 2017. The cargo ship docked with the orbiting Tiangong-2 space lab and conducted the first in-orbit refueling and other experiments. China's manned space engineering space lab project drew to a successful close.

"The lunar exploration programs of Chang'e-4 lunar probe and Chang'e-5 lunar probe are advancing steadily as planned. The Chang'e-4 program entered the flight model phase within the planned time frame. Chang'e-4 data relay satellite and Chang'e-4 probe will be launched this year, which will realize the first soft landing on the far side of the moon and complete patrol and exploration on the surface of the moon," said Li.

High-resolution earth observation system Gaofen-3 satellite was put to use; Gaofen-1 02, Gaofen-1 03, Gaofen-1 04 satellites were successfully launched and high-resolution ground system receiving station networks were comprehensively built up; China's overall ability on high-resolution satellite application was preliminarily formed, providing new supports for upgrading the country's governance systems and capabilities.

Meanwhile, China's space infrastructure also made new achievements. Shijian-13, China's first high-throughput communication satellite with a message capacity of more than 20 GB was successfully launched in 2017, laying a solid foundation for China's application of broadband satellite communications in other fields including high speed railway, ships, planes, enterprise networking and emergency communication.

"National Civil Space Infrastructure Plan is advancing steadily. So far, 23 satellites have been formally approved as projects to be put into construction, and upon completion, they will provide quantified, long-term and steady services with high accuracy for territorial resources survey, environmental protection, weather forecast, disaster prevention and relief, marine monitoring and transportation," said Li.
