Core Insights - The China Academy of Sciences National Space Science Center held a press conference on November 24, showcasing significant advancements in space science, focusing on cosmic origins, space weather, and the origins of life [3][10]. Group 1: Satellite Missions and Achievements - Since the launch of the space science pilot project in January 2011, eight scientific satellite missions have been completed, including "Wukong," "Shijian-10," "Micius," "Huiyan," "Taiji-1," "Huairou-1," "Kuafu-1," and "Tianguan," achieving multiple "firsts" for China and the world [5]. - "Wukong," launched on December 17, 2015, is China's first dark matter particle detection satellite, which has provided the most precise secondary cosmic ray boron energy spectrum in the TeV/n range based on eight years of data [5]. - "Huiyan," China's first X-ray astronomical satellite, launched on June 15, 2017, has made significant discoveries regarding black hole accretion bursts and neutron star surface nuclear burning [6]. - "Huairou-1," launched on December 10, 2020, has identified new subtypes of gamma-ray bursts and provided insights into the radiation environment near Earth [6]. - "Kuafu-1," launched on October 9, 2022, has revealed a lower-than-expected correlation rate between high-energy C-class flares and coronal mass ejections, offering new insights into solar eruption mechanisms [7]. - "Tianguan," launched on January 9, 2024, has detected 165 significant X-ray transient sources, contributing to the understanding of X-ray phenomena in the galaxy [7]. Group 2: Future Missions and Goals - The "14th Five-Year Plan" will focus on the "Harmonious Plan," which includes a low-frequency radio telescope array of ten satellites aimed at capturing weak signals from the early universe [8]. - "Kuafu-2" will explore solar magnetic activity and its relationship with solar storms by orbiting the sun's poles [9]. - The exoplanet survey satellite aims to find Earth-like planets in habitable zones, while the enhanced X-ray time-variable and polarization space observatory will study extreme conditions in the universe [9]. Group 3: Development and International Collaboration - The space science sector in China has shown robust growth, achieving breakthroughs in various fields, including macro, micro, extreme conditions, and interdisciplinary research [10]. - The project has led to significant advancements in satellite technology and payloads, establishing a national-level X-ray calibration beamline and developing high-sensitivity X-ray telescopes [10]. - International collaborations, such as the "Smile" satellite project with the European Space Agency, have enhanced China's scientific influence and effectiveness in space science [11].
