商品簡介
In keeping with the volume's stated aim of promoting international cooperation, Wen-Rui Hu (Director, National Microgravity Laboratory, Chinese Academy of Sciences) overviews the progress and prospects of space science in China. In 24 other papers, 38 contributors illuminate the status of space-related astronomy, physics, earth science, life science, and microgravity science in this rapidly developing country. While its capacity remains limited for direct exploration, the national space research program continues to make contributions in theoretical studies, ground-based observations and measurements, scientific satellites (35 to date), and experiments aboard spacecraft.
