satellite of the China national geophysical field observation series of satellite missions, the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES) was designed upon an optimized CAST2000 platform for a sun synchronous orbit. Onboard CSES, there are total eight types of scientific payloads including the Search-coil Magnetometer, Electric Field Detector, High Precision Magnetometer, GNSS Occupation Receiver, Plasma Analyzer, Langmuir Probe, Energetic Particle Detector Package, and a Three-band Transmitter to individually acquire the global electromagnetic field, electromagnetic waves, ionospheric plasma parameters as well as energetic particles. Up to now, CSES has been operating normally in orbit for 2 years. By using the various sensor data acquired by CSES, we have achieved scientific research in the areas of the global geomagnetic field modeling, space weather, earthquake event analysis, the Lithosphere-Atmosphere-Ionosphere coupling mechanism and so on.

By summarizing the history, human achievements in lunar exploration, the vision and prospect of the construction of a lunar base for the further development in lunar exploration is proposed. The idea of building a “beehive” lunar village is proposed, and the promotion of future lunar exploration along with the impact on the development of science, technology and the economy is analyzed in this paper.

Solid-propellant and liquid-propellant launch vehicles have their own characteristics, both playing an important role in space ransportation systems of space powers. This paper reviews and summarizes the development history of solid-propellant launch vehicles, and analyzes their technical characteristics including multiple stages, large payloads, complex separation, diverse operation modes, fast response, and mission adaptability as well as unique advantages in launch ctivities. This paper analyzes and proposes four development laws for solid-propellant launch vehicles, including improving omprehensive performance, infusing heritage with innovation, unitization and seriation, and optimizing power systems. Finally, this paper proposes the opportunities and challenges faced by solid-propellant launch vehicles based on market demands.

Competition among countries has evolved from just on Earth but into space as space technology and space power is a key attribute in the world today. Today space technology has spread, due to the enormous development, into every sector of life in the Earth for the benefit of mankind. Every country has the ambition to be a part of the space initiative. Asia Pacific Space Cooperation Organization (APSCO) is an organization that tries to promote space activities through cooperation in the Asia Pacific region. This paper attempts to explore the nature and categories of potential conflict that may arise under the APSCO framework program. Furthermore, it also endeavors to establish an effective and better dispute settlement mechanism under the overall APSCO framework. Finally, this paper introduces the institutional framework and working procedures of the arbitration body for future smooth cooperation and space exploration by APSCO.
