10年见证中国空间科学发展进入新时代

Witness of the new era of China space science since the past decadal

空间科学与空间技术、空间应用构成航天活动的3大领域。回顾了党的十八大以来中国空间科学的重要进展,突出表现为中国科学院空间科学战略性先导科技专项率先建立了中国的专用科学卫星系列,并产出了一批有国际影响的原创科学成果,载人航天与深空探测重大航天工程日益重视科学、技术和应用的融合;分析了以美、欧等航天强国为代表的国际空间科学发展态势,以及中国空间科学发展进入新时代的新历史方位,阐述了空间科学和空间技术与应用的联系和相互促进,指出重大科学目标引领、重大科学成果导向已成为中国空间科学任务的主要原则。面向建设科技强国、航天强国的时代需求,建议中国在有基础有优势的极端宇宙、时空涟漪、日地全景和宜居行星等科学主题上,加快部署系列科学卫星和相关任务,实现“0”到“1”的突破,让发达的空间科学成为高水平科技自立自强的重要抓手,成为航天强国建成的重要标志。

Space science as one of the three major fields of China’s space programs plays the key role in the construction of a first-class S&T power nation. Along with a brief review on the science mission profiles of the United States and European Space Agency, this paper states that China’s space science has entered into a new era and that the guidance of major scientific goals and great science excellence have become the main principles for solicitation, selection and implementation of China’s science missions. Over the past decade, the strategic priority program(SPP) on space science has taken the lead in establishing China’s scientific satellite series and produced a number of original scientific achievements. The China manned space program(CMSP)and China’s lunar and deep space exploration program(CLDSEP) have also achieved influential scientific & engineering outcomes. Considering space scientific missions as the most important platform for basic research, this paper once again calls on the deployment of more scientific satellites in China’s space program to yield world-leading scientific breakthroughs.
