China to highlight its lunar explorations, global cooperation on 10th Space Day

China will mark its 10th Space Day on April 24 with a series of events, highlighting its lunar exploration achievements and international cooperation, according to the China National Space Administration.

The main activities, co-hosted by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the space administration, and the Shanghai Municipal People's Government, are scheduled to be held in Shanghai, with Thailand serving as this year's main guest country, the CNSA announced on Thursday.

At a news conference, officials from the CNSA, Shanghai authorities, and the Shanghai Industrial Collaborative Innovation Office unveiled plans for this year's Space Day events.

Officials published the event's trailer and promotional poster, which blends Eastern aesthetics with cyan-green ink-wash backgrounds. The poster features the Chang'e-6 lunar lander orbiting a full moon, symbolizing China's lunar exploration achievements, while a Long March rocket ascending alongside the moon forms the number "10", commemorating the decade-long Space Day tradition. Designed by Fang Xijie from Anhui province, the artwork also integrates AI-generated dynamic elements.
