Qi took part in the research and design of the People's Republic of China's first satellite - the Dong Fang Hong I, which was successfully launched, and stayed in orbit, in 1970.[1] He was then appointed the general designer of China's spacecraft in 1992, following the retirement of Tsien Hsue-Shen.[2]
