According to official statistics, generations of Truong Chinh boosters, developed by China Space Science and Technology Group (CASC), have been implemented 96.4% of the total number of tasks since its inception. The launch of the country's satellite with a success rate of about 96%. Currently, the frequency of China's satellite launch has reached an average of 23.5 times per year.

In recent years, China has considered the space program a top priority in the race to catch up with the United States and become a space power in 2030. China also plans to start building space stations. separately in 2020.
