Abstract

Space science encompasses all major frontier basic researches that base on spacecraft platforms to obtain experimental data and realize scientific discoveries. China has started to develop scientific satellites such as DAMPE, HXMT. The international scientific community has recognized CubeSats to have important effect on deep space exploration. The occident and institutions support CubeSat's scientific research, and have implemented some missions. Significant progress of CubeSat platform has also been made in China's commercial space and space technology demonstrations, which has laid an important foundation for scientists to make breakthroughs in space science.
