Beginning of China’s space program In 1956, China opened its first missile and rocket research institute. Qian Xuesen (1911 - 2009), a Chinese scientist honored as “father of China’s space program” was the director. With great determination to build Chinese own rockets, he devoted himself to China’s space program. Less than ten years later, on July 19, 1964, China launched a biology rocket “T-7A/S1” into space with the first Chinese “astronauts”- 4 big rats and 4 small rats inside it. In 1968, China opened another institute for manned space flight. But that was just the beginning.

Literally, Zhu expresses the good wishes for humankind’s exploration of the universe. Rong means integration and cooperation, reflecting China’s vision of the peaceful use of space. The name is another example of Chinese scientific romance including Tianwen, Chang’e and Beidou, which also shows the Chinese spirit of exploration and culural confidence, according to Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the CNSA. 1.
