Dr. Bhavya Lal disussed key findings from a recent report she led on the emergence of the commercial space sector in China.

  • What factors are motivating the development of China’s commercial space sector?
  • What are the sector’s key characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses?
  • Where do we expect Chinese commercial space companies to be in the next 5-10 years?

She also answered relevant questions from the audience.
