Wu Yanhua, deputy director of the National Space Administration, said recently that China will start to establish a near Earth Asteroid defense system to jointly deal with the threat of near earth asteroid impact and contribute to the protection of the earth and human security. Wu Yanhua said that we strive to carry out a technical experiment on a threatening asteroid at the end of the 14th five year plan or in 2025 and 2026, not only to make close observation, but also to impact nearby, so as to change its orbit, so as to truly deal with the threat of small extraterrestrial objects to the earth's home and make our new contribution to China in the future.
