The universal space was not last on the list when it comes to technological innovation, and China proved that its value is highly regarded by installing a new space monitoring center that will keep track and protect its spacecrafts.

The management of the new center will be led by the State administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. The platform is said to be the place for all universal space concerns while the Chinese Academy of Sciences will be responsible in keeping track of near earth objects and space debris.

According to SpaceDaily, these near earth objects are mostly debris from man made explorations and have been part of massive destructions or collisions in the past. The possibility of encountering such dangerous occurrence can be detected through the monitoring system that shows a massive 300,000 debris that still travels in the orbit.

Out of the 129 Chinese spacecrafts, an additional debris to join the orbit is expected within two years as the Tiangong - 1 space station is set to be put into the orbit. Some of these debris include the tiniest screws you can find in a spacecraft and it can still demolish a spacecraft or a satellite.

Xu Dazhe insisted that they will still use existing space centers in China, in hopes of collaborating with their surveillance data. The existence of the monitoring center only proves China's concerns about their Universal studies and how the space will affect their remaining spacecrafts. The center will also provide a space to create plans for emergency evacuations and alternative approach to dangerous incidence, if something happens in space. While it may sound all precautionary, its role of monitoring current and old spacecrafts cannot be undermined as it is responsible in giving warning to authorities.

The space monitoring unit will ward off possibilities of space debris from hitting any of the country's existing spacecrafts. Head of the CAS astronomical observatory Yan Jun said, "The country has registered and average of 30 incidents each year where pieces of space junks have to come to a dangerously close to a Chinese spacecraft."
