Within the space sector, the NDRC plays a crucial role in planning, coordinating state-level special plans, and guiding investments, including those related to space infrastructure and technology. It encourages public-private partnerships in space exploration and satellite internet, fostering the growth of both state-owned and private enterprises in the industry. The NDRC works alongside other government bodies and is involved in major projects like the Chang'e lunar missions and the Tiangong space station.
