Specifically, this study analyzes two Chinese civilian space exploration programs and three cooperative space projects with international partners as case studies to identify domestic and foreign policy considerations informing China’s position in. It is found that in addition to national prestige economic development and progress in science and technology development are major motivations for China’s selection of space exploration activities.
