        空间材料科学研究是人类最有价值的空间探索事业之一。在过去的30多年里,该领域取得了巨大的进展,同时从其成功与挫折中也积累了很多经验和教训。随着空间实验机会的增加,以及更多的国家加入到空间科学研究中来,空间材料科学研究在未来20年预期会取得更大的突破。为保持在空间探索领域的竞争力,我国需要制定一部具有深刻科学洞见同时又切实可行的空间材料科学研究战略规划。

        Space materials science research is one of the most valuable human space explorations.In the past three decades,great progresses have been made in this direction,yet there are much to be learned from both the achievements and frustrations.With the availability of more research opportunities and the participation of more space countries,a new breakthrough in the space materials science is expected in the next twenty years.To remain a competent space explorer,China needs an insightful and feasible strategic planning for space materials science research.
