Approved in 1992, China Manned Space Program has gone through hardships and achieved notable success in the past sixteen years. Every launch of the program arouses extensive attention both at home and abroad. It has become an important event enough to make Chinese proud. The manned space program shows the achievements of China in its space technology. What’s more, it fully demonstrates China’s new contribution to the peaceful use of space and the promotion of the development of advanced science and technology through its aerospace utilization achievements.

In the Shenzhou VII spacecraft, the Space Utilization System implements three main utilization tasks. First, during the autonomous flight of Shenzhou VII, release a concomitant satellite after the astronaut extravehicular activities, testing China’s space vehicle re-release technology and concomitant flight technology for the first time by using a spacecraft platform, and for the first time carrying out and realizing test on flying around technology to passive none-cooperative targets. Second, with the astronaut extravehicular activities, carry out exposure test on solid lubricating material in outer space.

In the next 10 years, China will independently build a 60-ton space station which will run in orbit for 10 years. As China's largest space science and utilization program, space station utilization is a strategic engineering promoting cutting-edge scientific exploration and leading the development of applied technology, currently in 31 topics of 8 fields including space science and applied life science and biotechnology, microgravity fluid physics and combustion science, space environment and space physics, space earth science, new technology of space utilization, space material science, basic research in microgravity, space astronomy and astrophysics. Utilization payloads will consist of dozens of space science experiment racks, major research facilities with international competitiveness and independent load used for specific space science research field.
