2016-2030年中国空间科学发展规划建议

Prospect for Chinese Space Science in 2016-2030

半个世纪以来,空间科学不仅极大拓展了人类的认知领域,改变了人类对自然与自身的认识,而且牵引和带动了航天和相关高技术的快速发展,为国家安全、科技进步提供了支撑和保障,同时通过大批创造性的发明和技术应用,为国家经济社会发展、人类生活质量改善提供了源源不断的创新活力。在分析国内空间科学发展现状的基础上,文章阐述了我国2016—2030年空间科学拟研究的前沿科学问题,提出了我国至2030年空间科学发展战略目标、空间科学计划及所包含的科学卫星任务,并探讨了支撑和保障空间科学发展所需的技术手段与能力。希望通过系列空间科学计划与任务的实施,为我国经济社会发展和人类文明进步做出应有的贡献。

After the half-a-century development, space science has not only explored and settled new frontiers, expanding human＇ s understanding about nature and human itself, but also lead the rapid development of space and related technologies, and also brought about a number of innovative applications, which has been advanc- ing national scientific, security, economic and social interest and human life quality. China has laid a certain foundation in space science research through 50 years of development. In 2011, the go-ahead of Strategic Prior- ity Program （SPP） on Space Science marked that China＇s space science had entered a new stage. With an analy- sis of domestic space science status as the beginning, the paper poses the scientific questions to be addressed by Chinese space science community in 2016--2030, which is a） how did matter originate, how does it evolve and move？ b） what＇ s the relationship between the solar system and human beings？ Besides, The Chinese space science strategic goal is proposed, i.e. to make great scientific discoveries and achieve innovative break- throughs by a series of scientific satellite programs and missions in frontier scientific fields, such as the forma- tion and evolution of the universe, the exploration of exoplanets and extraterrestrial life, the formation and evo- lution of the solar system, solar activities and their impact on the earth＇ s space environment, the development and evolution of the earth＇ s system, new physics beyond the current basic physics theories, the law of matter motion and the law of life activity in space environment, etc; and to drive the great-leap-forward of aerospace and related high technologies. In addition, the paper also proposes the space science programs and missions through 2030, and probes into the supporting technical capability. Through the implementation of a series of space science programs and missions, it is expected to make due contribution to China＇ s economic and social development and human＇ s civilization.
