On April 24,1970,the first Chinese satellite,Dongfanghong 1 or The East is Red 1,was carried aloft by China's first carrier rocket－Long March 1.
1970年4月24日，中國第一顆運載火箭“長征一號”將“東方紅1號”送上了太空。
The mission made China the fifth nation to independently design,build and launch a satellite,after the Soviet Union,the United States,France and Japan.The 173-kilogram spacecraft worked 28 days before it ran out of power,but the satellite still travels in its orbit.
這次任務使中國成為繼蘇聯、美國、法國和日本之后第五個獨立設計、建造和發射衛星的國家。這艘重173公斤的宇宙飛船在失去動力前運行了28天，但衛星仍在其軌道上運行。
China has since sent over 500 spacecraft aloft and developed more than 20 models of carrier rockets.
此后，中國已向高空發射了500多艘航天器，并研制了20多種運載火箭模型。
In 2016,China designated April 24 as China Space Day.Space authorities and major contractors organize events around the date each year to commemorate the nation's accomplishments in space.This year's events were mainly held by teleconferencing or livestreaming due to the impact of the novel coronavirus outbreak.
2016年，中國將4月24日定為中國航天日。航天部門和主要承辦人每年都會在這一天左右組織活動，紀念國家在航天領域取得的成就。但由于新冠狀病毒爆發帶來的影響，今年的活動主要以電話會議或現場直播的形式進行。
