Abstract

The fact that satellite planning in Strategic Pilot Projects in space science had opened a new vigorous era in China’s space science was firstly depicted, and then the demands, chances, and challenges of space science e-Science that meet the condition of this new era were analyzed. The “Domain Cloud of Space Science and Technology” (DCSST) project supported by “e-Science projects” in the “12th Five-Year Plan” was taken as a typical example to introduce the space science e-Science practice and progress. Its framework, construction process, and system achievements—the STAR-Network was subsequently introduced, and STAR-Network functions and abilities were described in detail. Furthermore, its application results and serving effects in satellite mission collaborative demonstration, operation, and scientific research assistance were also elaborated. Finally, the future goals were determined, focusing on improving the e-Science core element levels and abilities, and devoting to the construction of a deeply fused and extensive cloud e-Science platform.
