The central and local authorities are still working on the detailed scheme of the campaign. When it will break ground was unknown. The initiative was approved recently by the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) following the launch of the Shanghai National Civil Aerospace Industrial Base late last year, according to Yue.

It will jointly promote the growth of civil aerospace business, technological renovation and application of such technologies.
