Space Science in China: Strategy and Breakthrough

Abstract

The Strategic Priority Program (SPP) on space science is a series scientific satellites program implemented by Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) since 2011. Since then, it has become the only and systematic space science satellite series of China. The article reviews the major scientific outcomes and technological breakthroughs in its first phase (2011-2016), the ongoing mission developments of its second phase (2017-2024), and the selected mission proposals for future space science program up to 2030. In 2016, President Xi has addressed:"to promote full developments of space science, space technology and space application," where he put space science in the first place of all other space programs. Looking ahead, we must continue to aim at the most important scientific frontiers in the field of space science, achieving from 0 to 1 breakthroughs, making space science play an irreplaceable role in building China into one of the strongest scientific and technological country in the world.
