This chapter provides an introductory overview of China’s fast developing and increasingly complex space programme. The analysis is performed according to a categorisation created by Jim Dator, who developed a framework to understand the process of technology advancement. In his view, all technological areas of development—including space programmes—can be understood as a product of three components: hardware, software, and orgware.
