China's New Space Exploration School to Train Next-Generation Deep Space Talent
The newly unveiled School of Space Exploration at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences aims to cultivate and pool comprehensive talents in deep-space exploration as part of the country's goal in advancing its strength in aerospace. The school, officially launched on January 27, 2026, has designed an interdisciplinary curriculum for students to have them prepared for the next frontier in space exploration.
The new school builds on three existing platforms for cutting-edge science, key technologies, and strategic applications at the Beijing Huairou National Comprehensive Science City. It will add six facilities designed to expand training and research.
These platforms, spanning intelligent drone patrol flight simulation, end-to-end satellite science training and space-ground collaborative experimentation, are expected to give students an immersive environment that links classroom study with real world challenges.
The School of Space Exploration will cultivate technical specialists for rocket manufacturing and spacecraft engineering, and interdisciplinary experts capable of addressing many aspects of space exploration.
Student competencies will directly interface with breakthroughs in critical challenges—encompassing engineering mastery in satellite fabrication, propulsion systems, and spaceship control alongside deep study of frontier disciplines spanning space sciences, life sciences, and artificial intelligence (AI).
