China National Space Administration (CNSA)

The CNSA helps manage China’s space projects and policies. It operates the Chinese lunar and planetary exploration programs, organizes international collaborations, directs scientific research, and helps develop China’s space industry. It does not oversee human spaceflight — that’s done by the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA)— and it is not the only public organization in China dedicated to uncrewed space missions, since the Chinese Academy of Sciences also launches space telescopes. Instead, the CNSA helps guide China’s space law, operates a fleet of satellites for Earth observation, and sends missions to explore the Solar System.
