Abstract： Major achievements of space science and technology are important symbols of a country’s scientific and technological level and ability. The basic consensus of the aerospace community is that China’s space technology has been well-developed, space applications need to be strengthened, and space science is relatively the less-developed. Thus, it is extremely urgent for China to build a strong country in space science and tackle the “bottleneck”. Here we elaborate the internal logic among the strength of S&T, aerospace, and space science, expound the connotation of space science strength, investigate the index system, and suggest the three-tier system scientifically for the first time. On this basis, this study analyzes China’s world position, finds the main gap, and puts forward several suggestions for its future development. Although this outcome indicates that China is in the third place in global space science, it should not be over interpreted. On the contrary, the core aim lies in that we should accelerate the development of space science with 15% growth of the national space science investment in the limited time window period of the next 15~30 years, and build up the leading space science and accomplish major original breakthroughs, the primary sign of China as an aerospace strength and S&T strength in the middle of 21st century.

Abstract： The Strategic Priority Program (SPP) on space science is a series scientific satellites program implemented by Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) since 2011. Since then, it has become the only and systematic space science satellite series of China. The article reviews the major scientific outcomes and technological breakthroughs in its first phase (2011-2016), the ongoing mission developments of its second phase (2017-2024), and the selected mission proposals for future space science program up to 2030. In 2016, President Xi has addressed: “to promote full developments of space science, space technology and space application,” where he put space science in the first place of all other space programs. Looking ahead, we must continue to aim at the most important scientific frontiers in the field of space science, achieving from 0 to 1 breakthroughs, making space science play an irreplaceable role in building China into one of the strongest scientific and technological country in the world.
