The construction of the China Space Station, the national space lab, was completed in 2022.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences led the development of the manned spaceflight engineering utilization system of the China Manned Space Program. It was responsible for the verification, approval, and implementation of space science and utilization tasks, providing strong technological support for the construction of the China Space Station.

In the next decade, the Station will support nearly 1000 in-orbit research projects in four research areas including space life science and human research, microgravity physics, space astronomy and Earth science, and new space technologies and utilization.
