Does anyone else notice how close this looks to something from Star Trek?

Actually it's the logo for the China National Space Administration.

Either that, or whatever group formed the administration watched wayyyyy too much Star Trek. It wouldn't surprise me since it was formed in 1993, and STNG was on a roll at the time.
