　　The report of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China expounded the initial intention and mission of the Communist Party of China (CPC) people to "seek happiness for the people of China and rejuvenation for the Chinese nation". For the happiness of China people and the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, the purpose of China Academy of Space Technology (hereinafter referred to as "Academy") is to develop China’s space industry, serve the national strategic needs, build a world-class aerospace enterprise, and support the construction of a space power. While the whole Party is carrying out in-depth education on the theme of "Do not forget your initiative mind, Keep in mind the mission", it is of great significance to grasp, follow and apply the development law of China’s space industry, stick to its original intention and shoulder the mission bravely, so as to accelerate the development of China’s space industry and better shoulder the historical responsibility of building a space power.

　　1. Grasp the development law of China’s space industry and adhere to the development path of space industry with China characteristics.

　　Looking back on the development of China’s space industry, the development law of China’s space industry is a magic weapon for China’s space industry to create new glories from scratch and from small to large, and it is also an important cornerstone for carrying forward the past and forging ahead courageously, which must be adhered to for a long time and never wavered.

　　Adhering to the leadership of the Party is the fundamental guarantee for the rapid development of China’s space industry.

　　The most essential feature of Socialism with Chinese characteristics is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership, and the greatest advantage of Socialism with Chinese characteristics system is the Communist Party of China (CPC)’s leadership. Space cause is a great cause that concerns national security, shows national strength and embodies national will. As the main force to promote the development of China’s space industry, the establishment of the research institute is an important decision and strategic choice made by the CPC Central Committee to achieve breakthroughs in economic, national defense and scientific and technological construction in the poor and weak domestic environment. The CPC Central Committee has always attached great importance to the development of the space industry. From the beginning of the establishment of the space industry in 1956 to the present, every step forward and every leap in the development of China’s space industry cannot be separated from the wise decision-making and correct leadership of the CPC Central Committee.

　　At a time when new China is in full swing, the CPC Central Committee has made a decision to develop the space industry considering the country’s long-term development strategy. In 1958, Comrade Mao Zedong put forward that "we should also build artificial satellites", which started the journey of exploring space in China. At the beginning of the reform and opening-up, the CPC Central Committee approved the "863" high-tech research and development plan and made a major decision to develop the "New Samsung One Arrow". In the 1990s, manned spaceflight was carried out. In the 21st century, manned spaceflight and lunar exploration projects, Beidou satellite navigation system and high-resolution Earth observation system have been included in the national medium-and long-term scientific and technological development plan. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the CPC Central Committee with the Supreme Leader as the core has attached great importance to the construction of a space power, demanding that we "make new contributions to the construction of a space power", which has opened a new chapter in China’s space industry.

　　History shows that the development history of China’s space industry is a struggle history of adhering to the leadership of the Party, firmly following the direction of the CPC Central Committee, and pushing the cause from victory to victory. Adhering to the party’s leadership is a unique advantage for the development of space industry, and it is also the fundamental guarantee for our brilliant achievements.

　　● Always adhering to the country-oriented value orientation is a solid cornerstone for the rapid development of China’s space industry.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader pointed out that in the long history of the Chinese nation’s development for thousands of years, patriotism has always been the passionate theme and a powerful force to inspire people of all ethnic groups in China to strive for self-improvement. "Putting the country first" is a vivid manifestation of patriotism in China’s space cause. For the people in the institute, "putting the country first" means "serving the motherland with success and creating brilliance with Excellence", always insisting on putting national interests first and personal interests subordinate to national interests.

　　Looking back at the history, the development course of the Institute for more than 50 years is an epic of glorious struggle by generations of researchers, Do not forget your initiative mind, who strives for progress, values the country and dares to surpass it. In the initial stage of their career, the older generation of researchers, represented by Qian Xuesen, Yang Jiayuan, Wang Xiji and Sun Jiadong, returned to China with infinite love for the motherland, devoted themselves to the development of space, and turned China’s first artificial earth satellite — — Dongfanghong-1 was sent into space. During the period of social transformation, the people in the institute have been adhering to the belief of "I will do it if the motherland needs it", and have worked hard on their majors, laying a solid foundation for the rapid development of the space industry in the future. During the period of career development, the researchers unified patriotism, ambition to strengthen the country and the trip to serve the country, and explained the life creed of "serving the motherland with success and creating brilliance with Excellence" with practical actions.

　　History has proved that "putting the country first" is the unswerving choice of researchers. People in the institute consciously link personal ideals with the destiny of the motherland, personal choices with the needs of the country, and personal interests with the interests of the people. Adhering to the country-oriented value orientation is a solid cornerstone for the rapid development of China’s space industry.

　　● Adhering to the road of self-reliance and independent innovation is the only way for the rapid development of China’s space industry.

　　General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has repeatedly stressed that China must "adhere to the road of independent innovation with China characteristics" and "be determined to innovate independently, strengthen innovation confidence, and strive to enhance independent innovation capability." Key core technologies can’t be bought, bought or discussed. China’s space industry must take the road of self-reliance and independent innovation to build the country’s heavy weapon.

　　The development history of China’s space industry is a struggle history of self-reliance and independent innovation. During the development of the "Dongfanghong-1" satellite, the researchers were self-reliant, overcame numerous technical difficulties and created a solid "China thickness"; In the process of carrying out the manned spaceflight project, the researchers broke through and mastered the core technologies such as round-trip between heaven and earth, extravehicular space, rendezvous and docking, and on-orbit propellant replenishment, and constantly refreshed the "China speed" in the history of aerospace; During the construction of Beidou navigation satellite system, the researchers realized that the core technologies of on-board equipment such as atomic clock were in hand and 100% controllable, creating a perfect "China accuracy"; In the process of implementing the lunar exploration project, the researchers built the world’s first earth-moon relay communication satellite, realized the first soft landing on the back of the moon, and constantly refreshed the "China height" of deep space exploration; In the process of promoting the special project of high-resolution Earth observation system, researchers have broken through a series of major technical bottlenecks of high-resolution Earth observation, and supported the national people’s livelihood security with a steady "China span".

　　The road of independent innovation and development has been explored by generations of researchers in the long and arduous struggle. Adhering to the development path of self-reliance and independent innovation contains the deepest national endowment of the Chinese nation, which is the only way to climb the peak of world science and technology and the only way for the rapid development of China’s space industry.

　　● Always adhering to the scientific method of system engineering is the magic weapon for the rapid development of China’s space industry.

　　Spacecraft development is an extremely complex system engineering, which has the characteristics of great technical difficulty, high quality risk, many factors involved and complicated organization and management. Eliminating all difficulties to ensure success is the last word, and ensuring success has always been the eternal pursuit of researchers.

　　Over the past 50 years, the Institute has gradually established a scientific and perfect spacecraft development system based on system engineering theory. In the initial stage of the space industry, the Institute insisted on pre-research generation, development generation and production generation, and initially established the China spacecraft development management system. From the late 1970s to the mid-1980s, model development changed from project research to engineering development management. The Institute established a designer system and an administrative command system, and initially standardized the satellite development procedures. Since the middle and late 1980s, space technology has been fully applied to engineering, and the theory and practice of systems engineering have also entered a stage of all-round development. The Institute has carried out research and development contract management with technical and economic integration, and formed a series of systems engineering management ideas and methods.

　　Since the beginning of the new century, China’s space industry has entered a stage of rapid development, and the development of space technology has entered a critical period to achieve a major breakthrough. The number of annual launches and the number of aerospace models under research have hit record highs, which has brought great challenges to model research and production and quality management. The Institute systematically carried out the construction of three capacity projects, namely, "innovation leading", "aerospace intelligence building" and "quality improvement", and formed a scientific research and industrialization management mode of aerospace business in line with the concept of system engineering, as well as many effective scientific research and production management mechanisms and quality management rules and regulations, which laid a solid foundation for the smooth development of model development, continued to promote the transformation and upgrading of spacecraft development mode, and created a new chapter in the transformation and upgrading of China’s space research and production mode.

　　For decades, generations of researchers have always adhered to the scientific method of systems engineering, ensured the complete success of the model launch mission with scientific management methods and a high degree of vigilance, and promoted the steady development of the space industry. Adhering to the scientific method of systems engineering is the magic weapon for the rapid development of China’s space industry.

　　● It is an inexhaustible source for the rapid development of China’s space industry to always adhere to the strategy of strengthening the enterprise through talents and continuously inherit and carry forward the space spirit.

　　Behind every brilliant aerospace achievement, there are a large number of aerospace talents who love the motherland, selfless dedication and innovation.

　　The aerospace spirit is an important part of the Chinese national spirit and a powerful spiritual driving force for the leap-forward development of the aerospace industry. In the process of composing China’s space career for more than 50 years, the Institute has become an important birthplace of the traditional spirit of space, the spirit of "two bombs and one satellite" and the spirit of manned space flight. During the vigorous development of the space industry, the connotation of the space spirit pedigree has been continuously enriched, and the spirit of Beidou and the spirit of exploring the moon have been condensed and formed. They are the continuous enrichment, perfection and sublimation of the space spirit, which has injected more abundant model characteristics and era connotation into the space spirit pedigree.

　　The aerospace spirit has inspired generations of researchers to move from victory to victory. They have been deeply integrated into the blood and soul of the people in the institute, and they are a powerful spiritual driving force for the institute to make concerted efforts to promote the development of the space industry. It is with such a top talent team and brilliant aerospace spirit that the researchers can further overcome difficulties, persevere, keep their motivation and continue their struggle. We firmly believe that it is an inexhaustible source for the rapid development of China’s space industry to always adhere to the strategy of strengthening enterprises through talents and to always inherit and carry forward the space spirit.
