Tiangong Kaiwu plan, also reported as the Solar System resource roadmap, is a concept and long-term roadmap proposed by Chinese space scientists for developing a Solar System-wide space-resources system by around 2100. The vision emphasises in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) of lunar and small-body water ice and strategic minerals, and the use of Lagrange point nodes to build resupply and transport infrastructure. The concept was presented publicly in August 2023 at an academic meeting of the Chinese Society of Astronautics, and was subsequently summarised by China Space News and republished on the CNSA website.
