Abstract
Space life science and biotechnology is to conduct the biological and biotechnological experiments of various species in space by utilizing the space hardware in the space vehicle, in which the effect of microgravity and space radiation on biological activities is a crucial issue in this field. The experiments conducted in a Shijian-10 (shortly, SJ-10) recoverable satellite mission are segregated into two groups. One is physical science under microgravity, consisting of eleven experiments. Another is space life science, being composed of ten experiments. In space life science, three categories are defined as radiation biology (Chaps. 3, 4 and 5), gravitational biology (Chaps. 6, 7 and 8), and biotechnology (Chaps. 9, 10, 11 and 12). Meanwhile, the system design and flight results of the SJ-10 satellite (Chap. 2) and the related techniques, space hardware and ground-based devices are described (Chaps. 13 and 14). In this chapter, the summaries of this book including the introduction to SJ-10 recoverable satellite and ten space life science projects as well as the scientific issues and Chinese scientific advances in the field of radiation biology, gravitational biology and space biotechnology in the past 15 years are addressed briefly.
