Dong Fang Hong I (simplified Chinese: 东方红一号; traditional Chinese: 東方紅一號; pinyin: Dōng Fāng Hóng Yīhào), also known as China 1^{[citation needed]}, was the People's Republic of China's first space satellite, launched successfully on April 24, 1970 (after one fail attempt on November 16, 1969) as part of the PRC's Dong Fang Hong space satellite program. At 173 kg (381 lb), it was heavier than the first satellites of other countries. The satellite carried a radio transmitter. It broadcasted the song of the same name, Dōng Fāng Hóng or The East Is Red, which lasted for 26 days while in orbit.

Dong Fang Hong I (Red East 1) is China's first man-made satellite. It was developed under the direction of Qian Xuesen (Tsien Hsue-shen), dean at the Chinese Academy of Space Technology. At the time, a total of five identical satellites were created. The first satellite launched successfully. The academy formulated a "Three Satellite Plan" consisting of Dong Fang Hong I, re-entry satellites, and geosynchronous orbit communications satellites. Sun Jia-Dong was responsible for the Dong Fang Hong I technology. In 1967 Dang Hongxin chose a copper antenna membrane that resolved the difficulties of broadcasting on an ultra-short wave antenna between 100°C and −100°C. Engineers installed a music player playing The East is Red on the satellite.

Dong Fang Hong (东方红), meaning The East is Red, is a space satellite program for the People's Republic of China, which started in 1970. Satellites in this series were placed in either low Earth orbit or geostationary orbit and carried out a variety of purposes: testing, remote sensing, telecommunications, meteorology, and scientific studies. While most Chinese satellites are named as part of the Dong Fang Hong series, others are singularly named or part of the AsiaSat or Apstar series.

China is also eager to provide its Dong Fang Hong technology as the basis for satellites designed, manufactured and launched by China for international customers, as it did for Nigeria with the NigComSat-1 whose lifespan was cut short due to communications and power problems.
