• Summary/Abstract: The origins or the Chinese Space Program can be traced to the Cold War and the establishment of the missile program by Mao. The Chinese National Space Agency (CNSA) was established in 1993 to help China boost its civil and commercial use of the space sector. In broad terms, the Chinese Space Program is characterized by effective rapid improvement, concentration on transformation, optimization and automation of all digital aspects allowing China to become a leader in the Information Age, with the help of its recently established space structures. The effective investment in technology over the last thirty years has allowed the tech sector to grow exponentially and in turn help China develop a more advanced society, based on that same space technology. Ultimately the Chinese Space Program will continue to improve itself and enhance the stature of China in Space, whilst acknowledging the necessary common effort to conquer the final frontier and let humanity reach the stars
