The Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) is the key university in the Chinese missile and space industry, and it is the only affiliate campus of the International Space University in Asia. Harbin Institute of Technology, founded in 1920, has eight colleges and is one of the best universities in China. It specializes in the fields of astronautics, machine-manufacturing, mechatronics and automation, hotworking technology, communication and electronic system, computer application, physical electronics and optronics.
In its earliest stage, HIT's mission was to train the technical personnel chiefly for the Chinese Changchun Railway Administration. In 1950, the Chinese Government took it over from the Railway Administration. Since then, HIT has enjoyed the priority of the central government's support. HIT covers an area of over 120 hectares, with a floor area of 660,000 square meters, and a fulltime faculty of 1,900 members.
HIT has established academic and cooperation ties with 350 universities and industries in thirty-six countries, including the United States, England, Germany, Japan and Russia. In the past few years, HIT has set up a New-and High-Tech Campus Park within an area of 100 hectare. The businesses of HIT New-and High-Tech Development Corporation lit in the park arranges from New-and High-Tech industries and communication to finance, real estate development, commerce, services and trade.
