Abstract
Space science addresses fundamental scientific questions related to human’s survival and development, and covers both macro and micro frontiers of natural science. It is a inter-discipline frontier, nurturing critical scientific and technological breakthroughs. Beyond 2030, further studies on major scientific questions such as the origin and evolution of the universe and life, search for extraterrestrial life, the impact of the Sun and the solar system on Earth and human’s survival and development, and the possible existence of physical rules beyond the existing theories would be carried out by the space science community.
