行星科学:科学前沿与国家战略

行星科学是当今科学前沿,是我国科技战略的重要组成部分,是国家自然科学水平和综合国力的集中体现。近年来,我国深空探测事业取得了举世瞩目的成就,但行星科学的发展严重滞后。造成这种困境的原因在于,行星科学一级学科设置和教育培养体系的缺乏。当前,我国全球影响力正在快速提升,尽快建立行星科学一级学科势在必行也正逢其时。我们认为,通过"高起点、快发展、广交叉、深融合"发展行星科学,不仅可以加快完善我国自然科学学科布局,培养世界一流的人才梯队,也是我国深空探测事业由大变强的必由之路。

Planetary Science: Frontier of Science and National Strategy

Planetary science is the one among the frontiers of science in the world and also is one of the key components of the development strategy of science and technology in China, which reflects the state of national natural science and the comprehensive national strength. In recent years, China''s deep space exploration program has obtained remarkable and world-class achievements, however, the development of the planetary science program has greatly fallen behind. The lack of planetary science as the first level discipline and related education system has greatly limited the development of planetary science in China. Currently, the global influence of China is expanding rapidly, and this is the right time and imperative to establish the first level discipline of planetary science. We believe that we can use the strategy of "high starting point, fast development, wide crossover, deep integration" to establish and develop planetary science program in China, and the program can greatly help the perfection of discipline layout, foster world-class talents in the field, and this is also the only way to transform China''s deep space exploration from big to strong.
