Abstract

Abstract:

In today’s world, information technology innovation is changing rapidly, and mankind has entered the era of digitalization, networking and intelligence, promoting the development of deep space exploration activities on a larger scale. In addition, the increasingly severe global environmental pollution, resource shortage, ecological crisis and other issues, prompting human beings to find and create a “second home”. To this end, the United States, China, Russia, the European Union and other countries and institutions have successively developed the concept such as lunar orbit space stations, lunar villages, and Mars bases, and actively promoted a series of deep space exploration plans. This paper reviews the development process and research progress of celestial body scientific research bases, discusses the technical fields and core tasks involved, and puts forward the development suggestions in China.

Key words: deep space exploration, celestial bodies, lunar research station, Mars base

摘要：

当今世界，信息技术创新日新月异，人类进入数字化、网络化、智能化时代，推动深空探测活动更大规模发展。此外，日益严峻的全球环境污染、资源短缺、生态危机等问题，促使人类寻找并创建“第二家园”。为此，美国、中国、俄罗斯、欧盟等国家和机构相继提出月轨空间站、月球村、火星基地等构想，并积极推动一系列深空探测计划。文章综述了国内外地外天体科考基地的发展历程与研究进展，论述其所涉及的技术领域和核心任务，并提出了中国关于地外天体科考基地的发展建议。
