| 520 ^aChina started planning for its space program in the 1950s. After over ten years of hard work, China sent its first satellite, Dongfanghong 1, into space in 1970. Its manned space program began decades later, culminating in the first Chinese astronaut, Yang Liwei, being sent into space in 2003. In 2007, China successfully launched its first lunar orbiter, Chang’e 1. From humble beginnings, China has evolved into a space power.This book chronicles China’s journey to space, from dream to reality, over a period of sixty years, highlighting the key events and characters involved. Topics covered include China’s rockets, satellites, spacecraft, astronaut training, Chang’e lunar exploration program, and spaceport. The chapters are richly illustrated with valuable and beautiful photographs and diagrams. ^aDe |
