In 2016, the 60th anniversary of China's space industry, the specific date April 24 was set as Space Day of China. "Exploring the vast universe, developing space programs and becoming an aerospace power has always been the dream we strive for," said Chinese President Xi Jinping on that occasion.
This Tuesday marks the third China's Space Day under the theme of "Forging together the new era of space development" and the first China Commercial Space Summit held in Harbin, northeast China's Heilongjiang Province.
