  1. Space science missions related to ILWS in China 2011-2020 29 August, 2011Beijing, China

  2. Contents • Main themes and questions need to be answered • ILWS missions in the next 5 years • Missions planned till 2020 • Summary

  3. Theme: What is the relationship between solar system and human beings? Questions to be answered under the themes What is the origin and evolvement of solar system, and its relationship with the sun? How does the earth system evolve? What is the nature of solar activity? • How did the planets in solar system originate and how do they evolve? • How does solar activity transmit and evolve in interplanetary space ? • How does solar activity affect earth space environment ? • How do the various spheres of Earth interact and evolve? • What will the earth system develop into the future? • Can human beings live beyond the earth system? • What is the nature of solar micro-phenomena? • What is the nature of solar macro-phenomena?

  4. ILWS missions in the next 5 years

  5. Sino-Russian Mars Exploration (YH-1) • An agreement has been reached between the Chinese and Russian Space Agencies in March 2007 to piggy-back launch a Chinese micro-satellite “Ying Huo-1” (YH-1) together with Phobos-Grunt. • Launch:2011.11 • Science objectives: • To study in details the plasma environment and magnetic fields of Martian space; • To study Martian ionosphere profile, particularly on the day and night sides; • To study the relation between sand storm and ionosphere; • To improve the Martian gravity field near equator plane.

  6. Sino-Russian Mars Exploration (YH-1)

  7. KUAFU • Scientific Objectives： • To observe the complete chain of disturbance from the solar atmosphere to the geo-space: • Solar flares, CMEs, • Interplanetary clouds, shock waves, • Their geo-effectiveness, such as sub-storms and magnetic storms, aurora activities KUAFU-A Payloads

  8. Missions planned till 2020

  9. 2011-2015 2016-2020 Space Astronomy Make use of foreign satellite data HXMT XTP Solar Physics Solar Microscope Detection Make use of foreign satellite data Dark Matter Detection Balloon Sounding in Antarctica Dark Matter Particle Detection Satellite Dark Matter Detection (onboard space station) Space Physics DSP KUAFU MIT SPORT Solar System Exploration Lunar Exploration （orbiting） Lunar Exploration （landing） YH-1 Lunar Exploration （Sample return） Mars Exploration （ orbiting ） Earth Observation Earth observation & application satellite data Near Space Atmosphere Research Satellite Micro-gravity Science / Space Life Science Experiments on recoverable satellite, micro-gravity drop tower, and manned space Experiments on SJ-10, QUESS, and manned space Experiments on space station 2010 2015 2020 China’s roadmap for space science to 2020

  10. Magnetosphere－Ionosphere－Thermosphere Coupling Exploration (MIT) • Scientific Objectives： • To understand the origin, acceleration and transport of ionospheric ions into the magnetosphere; • To investigate the importance of the outflows from the ionosphere/thermosphere on the geomagnetic substorm/storm dynamics; • To examine global multi-scale variations during geomagnetic storms; • To reveal the key mechanisms of coupling among the magnetosphere – ionosphere – thermosphere coupling system. One Configuration : T1:T2:T3 = 1: 2.5: 5

  11. Solar Polar Orbit Radio Telescope (SPORT) • Science Objectives:SPORT will be the first mission to image the propagation of CME continuously off the ecliptic plane. Specific science objectives are the followings • To characterize the propagation and evolution of CME events; • To establish the chain physical model and prediction model of interplanetary space and geospace weather in response to CME and its interplanetary disturbance response; • To derive the physical parameters of plasmas inside the CME; • To detect in-situ the distribution of solar wind in the interplanetary space and develop a model of the magnetic topology, temperature, density, and velocity structure of the solar wind; • To understand the interaction process of magnetic field and plasmas; • To detect solar short-time radio bursts and establish the chain change physical model.

  12. Summary • China is paying more attention to space science. • Sun Earth relation is an important area for space science • YH-1 and KUAFU are current missions under development and prepare to kick off for engineering phase • MIT and SPORT are selected for background study now and aiming to be launched during 2016-2020
