2020 a big year for China's space program

According to the latest official data, China's planned space launches for 2020 might exceed 40. In 2019, the number was 34, which was already the most in the world.

2020 will definitely be a year of significance for China's space program. Since the launch of Dongfanghong-1, China's first satellite, on April 24, 1970, China spent 26 years completing its first 40 space launches. The next 40 launches took place in less than 10 years, which shows great acceleration of China's space program.

With 40 launches planned for this year anybody can see that China's space program has made progress.
