Representatives of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (chin. 中国科学院), the National Space Administration (chin. 国家航天局) and the Office of Space Engineering of China (chin. 中国载人航天工程办公室) presented in early October "National medium- and long-term improvement plan for space discipline (2024-2050)" (chin. 《国家空间科学中长期发展规划(2024–2050年) 》).
This plan is intended to service as the basis for setting out tasks within space missions and space investigation now and in the close future. China intends to become a planet space power by 2050.
The main objectives for the improvement of space sciences include:
- gradual recognition and justification of the implementation of national missions in this field;
- coordinating and strengthening basic investigation based on these missions;
- building teams of top-class scientists in space science;
- systematic accomplishment of groundbreaking, first results with crucial global impact;
- achieving a high-quality improvement of space discipline and taking the lead among global leaders, gaining power position in space science.
The plan sets out 5 major technological themes and 17 precedence improvement directions in which China should scope a breakthrough.
Subject 1: Deep Universe– The goal is to research the origin and evolution of the universe and to discover the physical laws governing the cosmos.
Subject 2: Events in space and time – The key goal is to detect gravitational waves of low and average frequency and primary gravitational waves, as well as to discover the nature of gravity and space-time.
Topic 3: Panorama of the Sun-Earth – The subject is touring the survey of the relation between Earth, the Sun and the Heliosphere and the discovery of physical processes in this complex system, as well as the overall relation between the Sun and the Solar System.
Subject 4: Inhabitable planets "The precedence is to research the anticipation of surviving on planets of the solar strategy and exoplanets and to search for extraterrestrial life.
Theme 5: Space grids – The primary aim is to discover the laws of the movement of substance and life activity in space conditions and to deepen cognition of fundamental physics, quantum mechanics and general explanation of relativity.
The plan besides presents a three-stage roadmap for the improvement of space discipline in China by 2050:
First phase (until 2027): The Chinese space station will be expanded, the Moon will be manned and the 4th phase of lunar and planet exploration will be implemented. 5 to 8 satellite missions are besides planned, as well as a number of first achievements with crucial global impact.
Second phase (2028-2035): China will usage its own space station for further investigation and experimentation, carry out manned lunar missions and make an global lunar investigation station. any 15 space satellite missions have besides been planned and the results will be among the best in the world.
Third phase (2036-2050): Over 30 space missions will be carried out, and China will scope the world's leading level in crucial fields of space science.
The presented plan was developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in cooperation with more than 500 technological institutes, universities and universities, industrial organizations and another related organizations. It took more than 2 years to prepare the plan.
The conference besides informed that China had so far concluded cooperation agreements with 17 countries and global organisations to jointly build an global investigation station on the Moon, which will be implemented in 2 phases.
