  At present, the scientific research paradigms in various fields including space science are undergoing profound changes, and it is urgent for scientific and technological workers in related fields to seize opportunities, promote the spirit of scientists, strengthen innovation and self-confidence, bravely venture into "no man's land", and have the courage to explore new ideas, new ideas, The new method continuously expands the cognitive boundaries from the unknown to the known, from uncertainty to certainty, helping to push China's space science to the center of the world stage, and to help achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement.

Exploring the vast universe is the common dream of all mankind, and space science is the common interest of the whole world.

We need to advocate the concept of open science to develop space science, actively promote open cooperation with the international scientific and technological community, promote the co-construction and sharing of large scientific plans and projects, jointly develop and utilize space resources, protect the space environment, jointly explore the mysteries of the universe, and respond to global challenges. Contribute Chinese wisdom to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

  [Explanation] On the opening day, 9 academicians and 4 well-known experts brought 13 specially invited reports on the latest progress, international frontier and future development of manned spaceflight engineering, lunar and deep space exploration engineering and space science satellites to discuss together Frontier technologies and development trends of space science, promote the in-depth cross-integration of various disciplines of space science, popularize space science and technology knowledge, and promote the realization of high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-reliance.

In addition, the conference also set up 1 international summit forum on space science and 32 sub-venues for academic exchanges.

During the conference, a series of activities such as the Youth Academic Salon, the "Science and Technology China" Space Science and Technology Roadshow, the "Exhibition of New Technologies in Aerospace and New Achievements" and the "Stars and Seas Are Waiting for You" Shanxi Science Popularization Month will also be held.
