China's rise from a space development country to a superpower in space has been breathtakingly fast. China has only been conducting manned space flights since 2003, but today it is already on a par with the USA and Russia. Moon and Mars missions are planned. Yet amazingly little is known about Chinese spaceflight. This book will change that: It describes the history of Chinese space travel from its beginnings to the present day and dares to look ahead to future projects and activities. The political aspects are not neglected either. High-quality photos and graphics round off the compendium.
