Initially Chinese aviation development efforts centered on the Ministry of Aeronautics Industry (MOA). This was subsequently
combined with the former Ministry of Astronautics Industry to become the new Ministry of Aerospace Industry (MOS).

National Space Administration (CNSA) and the China Aerospace Corporation (CASC) were established in June 1993.
