The government yesterday unveiled an ambitious blueprint for aerospace development in the next five years, just days before the launch of China's first lunar orbiter scheduled for next week.
It is the first overall plan for aerospace development in China.
Released by the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND) for the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-10), the plan has outlined nine major missions for aerospace development.
