我国行星物理学的发展现状与展望

Status and Prospect for Chinese Planetary Physics

半个世纪以来,伴随着人类在深空探测领域内取得的各种重大科学发现,人们对地球、行星以及太阳系有了更深入的认识和理解。这些发现不仅深化了人类对自然的认识,牵引和带动了科学技术的快速发展,同时还孕育并催生了行星物理学等交叉学科的兴起和发展。文章在分析国内外行星物理学发展现状的基础上,阐述了行星物理学与传统学科及我国未来深空探测任务之间的相互关系,指出了我国未来行星物理学研究的主要发展方向,并对该学科的未来发展给予了适当建议。

Numerous great discoveries have been made in the field of deep space exploration over the past 50 years,and they deepen our knowledge and synergetic comprehension greatly about the Earth,Planets,and the Solar system.The deep space exploration not only acts as impetus to drive the development of modern science and technology,but also fosters the planetary physics as a new interdiscipline. This study analyzes the background and current status for the discipline of planetary physics,and compares the progress made on the planetary physics of China with that of the other well-developed countries.The relationship of the Chinese planetary physics with the other traditional disciplines,like geophysics,space physics etc.,as well as with the projects of deep space missions is elaborated. Based on the current status and developing trend of planetary study,this paper presents possible directions as well as instructive suggestions for the development of Chinese planetary physics in the near future.
