China‘s space technology and science research have earned a place in the world, but have not been compiled into a series of systematic publications yet. In 2018, the series Space Science and Technology edited mainly by me and co-authored by the leading figures in China’s space industry was published in China, when China Academy of Space Technology was celebrating the 50th anniversary of its founding. This collection contains 23 volumes in Chinese, only 10 of which have been selected, recreated and translated into English. In addition, each English volume has been recreated at the suggestion of the Springer, by deleting the contents similar to Springer‘s existing publications and adding the contents that are internationally advanced and even leading, and bear both Chinese characteristics and worldwide universality. This series fully reflects the knowledge and engineering experience recently accumulated by Chinese scientists and engineers in space technology and science research.
As Editor in Chief of this series, I always insist that this collection must be of high quality, either in Chinese version or in English version. First, the contents of this series must be condensed and sublimated based on the combination of theory and practice, so as to provide both a theoretical value and engineering guidance. Second, the relationships between past knowledge and state of the art and between other people’s work and our own new findings should be properly balanced in the book contents to ensure the knowledge systematicness and continuity and to highlight new achievements and insights. Each volume intends to introduce the readers something new. Third, the English version should be customized for international exposure and play a solid supporting role for China to contribute to the worlds space field.
