The China National Space Administration (CNSA) Satellite Assembly Integration & Test Centre (AIT Centre) is not only responsible for testing the space hardware for most of China's national space programmes but it also offers its services to UNOOSA Member States.
In May 2017, CNSA decided to share the AIT Centre, which is a subsidiary of China Academy of Space Technology located in Huairou District Beijing China, with the international community.
During the 57th session of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee (STSC) of the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) in February 2020, the Chinese representative gave a technical presentation with the title: Access to Satellite AIT Centre CNSA. Already on 6 February 2018, China presented its AIT capacities for spacecraft testing during the 55th session of the Scientific and Technical Subcommittee of COPUOS.
