The Chinese space agency are planning several new endeavours in the near future including their own space station.
The first module of their Tiangong station will be launched in 2011 shortly after which they will attempt their first orbital docking procedure as three Shenzhou spacecraft will try to rendezvous with it.
The leaders of China's human spaceflight endeavors say 2011 is shaping up to be the most ambitious year in the history of the country's space program. China plans to launch the cornerstone of a new orbiting space laboratory some time in 2011.
