Notes
The distiction between on-orbit and decayed objects is made based on the presence of a decay date in the current SatCat data.
Rocket Bodies are considered to be any object which contains the strings 'R/B' or 'AKM' (Apogee Kick Motor) or 'PKM' (Perigee Kick Motor) but not 'DEB' in the
SatCat object common name.
Debris objects are considered to be any object with the string 'DEB', or 'COOLANT' or 'SHROUD' or 'WESTFORD NEEDLES' in the SatCat object common name.
Any object not classified as a rocket body or debris by the previous tests is considered to be a payload.

China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT), headquartered in
Beijing, has been the leading launch vehicle manufacture in China since its
establishment in 1957. CALT is also one of the major launch service providers
in the world. The Long March launch vehicles, designed and manufactured by
CALT, can send various payloads to Low Earth Orbit (LEO), Sun-synchronous
Orbit (SSO) and Geo-synchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) with low cost and
high reliability.

Under the direct administration of the State Council,ChinaAerospace Science and Industry Corporation is one of the
biggest enterprises solely owned by the state.Within CASIC,four
divisions have been established,including six large-scale
President
academies,over 180 enterprises and institutions with nearly
Xia Guohong 100.000 employees in total,among which 40 percent are
technicians and engineers of different specialties.
Taking missile weapon system as its foundation,CASIC also lays
great emphasis on the development of information technology
for military and civil purposes,satellite exploration and
application,energy,environmental protection and equipment
complex,etc

CASC
http://www.spacechina.com/espace/
The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) evolved from the former
China Aerospace Corporation encompassing some of its organizations. With the approval of the
State Council, on 01 July 1999, in an effort to become more competitive the Chinese government
reformed the top ten Defense and Technology Corporations. These corporations, including the
former China Aerospace Corporation, are all large State Owned Enterprises(SOE's) under
direct supervision of the State Council.
The former China Aerospace Corporation, with some 270,000 employees, was divided into the
China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) and the China Aerospace
Machinery and Electronics Corporation (CAMEC), presumably with about 150,000 employees.
The S&T Corporation has adopted CALT, the Fourth Academy, CAST, 062 Base, and 067 Base.
The Electro-mechanical Corporation has integrated the Second and Third Academies and the
remaining bases.
