Members of a space control research team from the China Academy of Space Technology in Beijing discussed during an open house event their work with the public. Wang Pengji was speaking at that forum to introduce an elite 37-member space control research team. Members of the team mainly work on Chinese spacecrafts' guidance, navigation and control systems, and their achievements have enabled Chinese satellites, Shenzhou spacecraft, Tiangong space stations and Chang'e lunar probes to fulfill their missions.
