China continues to expand its space program with 72 launches in 2025

China’s space program has been reaching for the stars in 2025 with 72 orbital launches in the year—30% up on 2024. The country's Tiangong Space Station continued to be a major focus of activity in 2025 with the arrival of the Shenzhou-20 crew in April 2025, ready for their six-month stay. However it was not all chicken wings and steak on the China Space Station—the crew’s return to Earth was delayed after space debris hit their spacecraft.
