Space Station Cheonji (Modern Zhenian: 천지 우주정거장), is a Zhenian space station operating at low earth orbit since 1997 to the present, operated by the Zhenia Space Agency. As the world's largest artificial satellite in orbit as well as the largest asset currently owned by the Government of Zhenia, it primarily serves as an orbital laboratory for microgravity and space environment and an orbital communications center for space missions by the Zhenia Space Agency. It completes one orbit around the planet in around 93 minutes and finishes more than 15 orbits a day.

With the first station module, the Cheonji Module, launched in 1999, initial construction of the station was completed in August 4, 2013, although new modules to replace older modules launched in the 2000s is set to begin in 2020. Original plans to replace the station with the newer Space Station Changgong had begun in 2018, although the Zhenia Space Agency currently plans to operate both space stations simultaneously as a part of the low-earth orbital network, possibly as assembly points for outer space exploration.
