IV. Development Policies and Measures
The Chinese government, under the guidance of the scientific outlook on
development, has made overall plans in the three fields of space technology,
space application and space science to promote independent innovations in space
science and technology, make space activities create more economic and social
benefits, ensure the orderly, normal and healthy development of space
activities, and achieve the set goals.
The major policies and measures
for China's space industry at present and in the near future are as
follows:
-- To make overall plans for and deploy rationally space
activities. To give priority to the developmen t of applied satellites and
satellite applications, develop in a proper way manned spaceflight and
deep-space exploration, and give active support to space science
exploration.
-- To muster strength in implementing key space scientific
and technological projects, strengthen basic research and make plans for
frontier technologies in advance. To muster superior forces to make leapfrogging
development in space science and technology by making breakthroughs in core
technologies and resources integration. To increase the sustainable innovative
ability of space science and technology through strengthening basic research in
the space field and developing several frontier technologies in
advance.
-- To promote space application and accelerate the
industrialization of space activities. To strengthen the development of space
application technologies, promote resource sharing and expand the scope of
application. With emphasis on telecommunications satellites, satellite
telecommunications, satellite remote-sensing, satellite navigation and carrier
rockets, to vigorously construct a comprehensive chain of space industry
covering satellite manufacturing, launching services, ground equipment
production and operational services. To strengthen the spread, transformation
and secondary development of space technology, and transform and upgrade the
traditional industries.
-- To attach importance to the infrastructure
construction of the space science, technology and industry. To strengthen the
building of infrastructure facilities for developing, producing and
experimenting with spacecraft and carrier rockets. To give support to key
laboratories and engineering research centers of space science and technology,
strengthen the work on informatization, intellectual property rights and
standardization of space activities.
-- To promote the building of a
space technology innovation system. To guide the reform, restructuring,
transformation and updating of the space science, technology and industry, and
accelerate the building of world-class large space corporations. To actively
construct a space technology innovation system integrating production, education
and research with space science and technology enterprises and national
scientific research institutes at the core.
-- To improve the scientific
management of space activities. To adapt to the progress of the socialist market
economy, actively make innovations in the system and mechanisms of scientific
management, improve the sense of quality and profit among personnel, apply
system engineering and other modern management tools to promote scientific
management, increase system quality, minimize system risks and enhance
comprehensive benefits.
-- To strengthen legislation work. To formulate
laws, regulations and space industrial policies for guiding and regulating space
activities, increase the level of administration by law, and create a
legislative environment favorable for the development of space
activities.
-- To guarantee input of funds for space activities. The
Chinese government will increase input to the space industry, and at the same
time encourage the establishment of a diverse, multi-channel space funding
system, so as to guarantee the sustainable and stable development of the space
industry.
-- To encourage people of all walks of life to participate in
space-related activities, including encouraging industrial enterprises,
scientific research institutes, commercial corporations, institutions of higher
learning and social organizations, under the guidance of national space
policies, to give full play to their advantages, take an active part in space
activities, and participate in international space-related exchanges and
cooperation. To encourage satellite operation enterprises and application units
to use Chinese satellites and satellite-application products.
-- To
strengthen the fostering of talented people for the space industry. To spare no
efforts for the education and cultivation of personnel, give attention to
whetting their sense of innovation through practice. In particular, it is
necessary to pay more attention to fostering a rationally structured contingent
of young and highly qualified space scientists and engineers. To make efforts to
publicize space knowledge and culture, and attract more outstanding personnel
into the space industry.
The Chinese
government continues to strengthen its administration and macro-guidance
concerning space activities. The China National Space Administration (CNSA) is
the country's governmental organization responsible for the management of space
activities for civilian use and international space cooperation with other
countries, and responsible for implementing corresponding governmental
functions.
