空间物理学科发展战略研究

Space physics is a new interdisciplinary frontier basic discipline that has developed rapidly since mankind entered the space age. It regards the heliospheric space controlled by the sun and solar wind as a system to study the interaction between the sun/solar wind and the upper atmosphere, ionosphere, magnetosphere and even interstellar media of planets/comets. Space physics is essentially an experimental science, and space physics exploration is the basis for the development of space physics. In the new century, with the increasing space infrastructure and human high-tech activities, space physics has entered a new stage of development, emphasizing the close combination of science and application. In recent years, a series of important advances have been made in space physics at home and abroad. This paper connects with the top-level strategic design of “livable Earth− Earth system science” of the Department of Geoscience of the National Natural Science Foundation of China, teases out and summarizes the development trends of various disciplines of space physics at home and abroad in the past several years, condenses the key fields of future development of space physics in China, optimizes the discipline layout, and promotes the high-quality development of various disciplines of space physics.
