The China Space Museum in Beijing reopened on Wednesday to mark the 65th anniversary of the founding of the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, the nation's major maker of carrier rockets and owner of the museum.

The museum was constructed and opened to the public in 1992. It is the oldest Chinese museum focused on the space industry and its programs and is also the largest space museum in Asia, the academy said in a news release.

Over the past year, the museum was relocated from inside the academy to a new site in a nearby area and underwent a massive upgrade.

The reopened museum showed the history and great achievements of China's aerospace development from all aspects, allowing visitors to "three-dimensionally" experience the overall picture of China's aerospace development.
