Abstract： Space science is a frontier interdisciplinary subject that probes the macroscopic and microscopic worlds with spacecraft as a platform. Since the 1960s, many Nobel Prize-level discoveries and original achievements have been spawned in related basicscience, breaking through the boundaries of human cognition of the nature, and expanding the human knowledge graph continuously. In the 21st century, with a new round of scientific and technological revolution brewing, space science has also entered a new era of revolutionary advancements. Here we review the major progress in global space science in the past ten years, as well as the trend of space science and the future layout of flight missions in major spacefaring countries and regions, forecasting the possible breakthroughs in the next 10 to 15 years. With a series of strategic missions and projects focused on key scientific goals, major advances are expected in the fields of physics laws under extreme conditions, gravitational waves of medium and low frequency, the dark age and dawn of the universe, solar eruption mechanism, coupling of the solar#2;terrestrial system, fingerprints of extraterrestrial life in the solar system and beyond. We will carry out cutting-edge exploration on four major themes: the extreme universe, ripples in time and space, the panoramic view of the Sun and Earth, and the search for habitable exoplanets, aiming to make significant contribution to China’s goal of building of a space power and world leader in science and technology.

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.

Abstract： International cooperation is an objective need for space science development, and also a necessary path for China to approach the stage center of the world space science. The scientific mission series under China’s Strategic Priority Program on Space Science (SPP) involve comprehensive, extensive, all-round, and multi-level international cooperation in the whole life cycle of mission innovation chain. International cooperation partners include ESA and major European space countries, as well as the United States, Russia, Canada, Australia, Japan, Singapore, etc. To ensure the originality and significance of the scientific objectives of the SPP missions, a swath of measures have been applied, including establishing bilateral meeting mechanism, co-establishing international research institutions, promoting international exchanges and cooperation, deepening the mission international study, and optimizing the advanced detection payloads configuration. To facilitate the output of high impact scientific achievements, the engineering management and science management of the cooperative missions are strengthened by implementing the mechanism of Co-Principal Investigators both at the mission level and the payload level. This paper reviews the international cooperation activities and management practice of the Chinese space science missions, and offers some suggestions for the future work, in a bid to provide reference for the follow-up management of international cooperation missions.
