Abstract ( 307 )
As a space power, China hasn't launched a large-size mission driven by scientific objectives yet. For a case study, the paper investigates the development of NASA's next-generation astrophysics mission-wide field infrared survey telescope (WFISRT), a flagship/large-size mission. Despite that WFIRST has been confronted with cancellation in NASA FY budgets during the past few years, the project passed a critical programmatic and technical milestone in March 2020, and was given the official green light to begin hardware development and testing (Phase C). In the following May, NASA renamed the telescope after Nancy Grace Roman, i.e., Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, which shows the mission's strong vitality. Roman Space Telescope aims to conduct dark energy research, exoplanet search and near-infrared survey, while demonstrating the coronagraph's technology for direct imaging of Earth-like exoplanets. WFIRST fits for the NASA's Vision and Mission, and will strengthen US leadership in space science, and its development somehow provides lessons learned about flagship missions.

Abstract ( 375 )
According to space launch and transportation systems of the world, history and current development are studied in this research. Comparisons of rockets, rocket engines and satellite launch centers are carried out, which yield the future development trend. Some perspectives are also brought forward. Entering the space with extreme-low cost will totally change the centennial development of the aerial transport. Remote and cross-domain transportation will break the transportation efficiency of the aerial transport over the world. Reusable earth-space transportation system will become a necessary choice to maintain space environment, such as cleaning space debris. Multiple orbit requirement of spacecraft will expedite diversity and multi-domain launch capacity of the space launch system. Domains where conventional space propulsion systems, e.g., hydrogen/oxygen, lox/methane, and LO2/RP-1 based engines, are applied will inevitably witness an revolution. The development trend and future perspectives of the space launch and transportation system will benefit researches in our country, such as choosing technical route, tackling critical techniques, engineering and so on.

Abstract ( 355 )
In situ fabrication of silver azide micro-charge is investigated. Chemical precipitation method is employed to synthesize silver oxide nanoparticles. Silver azide is successfully fabricated by gas and solid phase in situ method using silver oxide nanoparticles as precursors. The effects of azidereacton time on microstructure and composition of silver azide are evaluated. Results show that silver azide is gradually synthesized in 1 h and that the increasing reaction time can promote the conversion of silver oxide nanoparticles to silver azide. Furthermore, the probe method is employed to measure the average velocity of flyer driven by silver azide micro-charge. Silver azide can be ignited by the Ni-Cr bridge wire and the average velocity of flyer is 2328 m·s-1. Due to its excellent detonation ability and thermal stability, silver azide micro-charge has a favorable application prospect in MEMS.
