Nobel Prize is one of the most important prizes well-known to the international space science community. In the case of a space power, space scientists have been continually getting awarded with the Nobel Prizes, benefiting from the implementation of space science missions. This article takes the Nobel Prize as the tool, starts with the space science's contribution to world science and technology power construction, analyzes the Nobel Prizes awarded to space scientists from international space powers such as USA, Europe and Japan, describes the status of space science development in China, and proposes that, space science is one of the areas that Nobel-prize-level breakthroughs could be achieved, and would make significant contributions to global science and technology developments.
