China’s Deep Space Exploration
WU Yanhua
AEROSPACE CHINA    2023, 24 (1): 3-9.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-0940.2023.01.001
Accepted: 05 October 2023

Abstract255)      PDF(pc) (3921KB)(215)      
At present, the moon and Mars are the main focus of deep space exploration, scientific pursuits are the initial goal, and extensive cooperation leads to a greater prospect. China has made many scientific achievements and built considerable infrastructure through its lunar and Mars exploration activities. In the future, China will continue to carry out deep space exploration activities with scientific goals as the driving force, develop the International Lunar Research Station, explore the sun, inner planets and asteroids, discover exoplanets and build an asteroid defence system. 
In order to support future deep space exploration missions, China will construct an integrated communication, navigation and remote sensing constellation and develop heavy-lift launch vehicles. China offers a wide range of opportunities for cooperation, upholds the central role of Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPUOS), and welcomes all countries in the world to participate in deep space exploration activities.

Abstract189)      PDF(pc) (3605KB)(197)      
As the closest celestial body to the Earth, the moon is a hot spot for international space science research at present. Countries around the world have conducted lunar exploration time after time, among which, China’s Lunar Exploration Program has achieved 6 consecutive successful lunar missions. China has made a series of significant achievements in deep space exploration, and its cooperation with international partners is increasingly strengthened. 
In order to gather global space power and scientists’ wisdom, the International lunar Research Station (ILRS) is proposed by China and will be jointly constructed by many countries, which will be equipped with the support capabilities of energy supply, central control, communications and navigation, space-Earth round-trip transportation, lunar surface scientific research, and ground support. All international partners are encouraged to jointly develop and build the ILRS, and to jointly initiate the establishment of the International Lunar Research Station Cooperation Organization (ILRSCO) to achieve the long-term effective, operation and management of the station. The vast universe sparks the exploration dream of humankind, so let’s set sail together.

Venezuelan Space Activities and Cooperation with the People’s Republic of China
Marglad Bencomo
AEROSPACE CHINA    2023, 24 (1): 25-31.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-0940.2023.01.005

Abstract83)      PDF(pc) (2744KB)(73)      
The pace at which a space agency or any space sector company develops depends greatly on the level of space governance in the nation where it operates and international cooperation. The Venezuelan government is aware of the significance of space activities and impact in growth of the country’s various economic sectors. As the People’s Republic of China expressed interest in transferring technology to Venezuela to build local capabilities for satellite operations in the field of telecommunications and later in the field of remote sensing, cooperation between the two countries has played a significant role in the development of the Venezuelan Space Program. At the moment, Venezuela 
is working to consolidate activities related to the design, assembly, integration, and testing of spacecraft. In the quest to strengthen the ties of cooperation between the two nations, the People’s Republic of China invited the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela during the month of April 2023 to form part of the cooperation on the International Lunar Research Station project, which represents an opportunity for the Latin American country to participate in new projects and be able to contribute in some of the categories established for the mentioned program.

China’s Lunar and Deep Space Exploration Program Initiatives Garner International Attention: ILRS Partnership as a Promising Opportunity for Turkish Space Agency
Ahmet Hamdi Takan
AEROSPACE CHINA    2023, 24 (1): 32-37.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1671-0940.2023.01.006
Abstract118)      PDF(pc) (889KB)(99)      
In an era of unprecedented scientific advancements and ambitious space exploration goals, international collaboration has become a key driver of progress. China’s kind and peaceful invitation to engage in collaborative ventures within the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) and deep space exploration project presents a significant opportunity to respond with constructive contributions in engineering and scientific domains. This article aims to illuminate the potential advantages of becoming a partner in the ILRS and deep space exploration project, showcasing a selection of captivating missions that await exploration. By embracing this generous and peace-promoting offer extended by China, the global scientific community can foster meaningful partnerships and achieve groundbreaking advancements in lunar and deep space exploration. China’s resolute dedication to international cooperation in lunar and deep space exploration has resulted in immeasurable contributions, propelling our understanding of the universe and pushing the limits of human knowledge. Through a shared vision, these collective endeavors have brought us closer to unraveling the enigmas of the cosmos and expanding the frontiers of our comprehension. By conducting a series of scientific experiments, Türkiye will actively contribute in the domains of science and technology. Building upon the knowledge and expertise acquired through its own lunar mission, Türkiye has been diligently conducting a comprehensive analysis of the prospective realms of contribution delineated within the ILRS and deep space missions conducted thus far.
