（九）空间碎片

    继续加强空间碎片监测、减缓和航天器防护工作。

    发展空间碎片监测与碰撞预警技术，开展空间碎片和近地小天体的监测与碰撞预警。建立空间碎片减缓设计评估系统，对任务后的航天器和运载火箭积极采取空间碎片减缓措施。开展空间碎片撞击数字仿真技术试验，推动航天器的空间碎片防护系统建设。

9. Space Debris

China will continue to strengthen its work on space debris monitoring and mitigation and its work on spacecraft protection.

China will develop technologies for monitoring space debris and pre-warning of collision, and begin monitoring space debris and small near-Earth celestial bodies and collision pre-warning work. It will set up a design and assess system of space debris mitigation, and take measures to reduce space debris left by post-task spacecraft and launch vehicles. It will experiment with digital simulation of space debris collisions, and build a system to protect spacecraft from space debris. 

四、发展政策与措施

    为确保完成既定的目标任务，中国政府制订了发展航天事业的政策与措施，主要包括：

    ——统筹规划、合理部署各种航天活动。优先安排应用卫星和卫星应用，适度发展载人航天和深空探测，积极支持空间科学探索。

IV. Development Policies and Measures

To ensure completion of the set goals and tasks, the Chinese government has formulated policies and measures to be taken for the development of China's space industry as follows:

-- Making comprehensive plans for and prudently arrange space activities. To give priority to applied satellites and satellite applications, develop human spaceflight and deep-space exploration properly, and give active support to space science exploration.
