Abstract
<p indent="0mm">This paper elaborates on eleven hot scientific objectives and three scientific application problems in lunar, planetary, and solar exploration on the basis of a comprehensive overview on the development history, research status, and main trend of international deep space explorations, combined with the requirements of the long-term sustainable development of China deep space exploration. Eight types of capabilities that the deep space exploration engineering system should be constructed are given. The overall development goals, as well as the mission classification model, eleven detection priorities, mission assumptions, and the direction and emphasis of international cooperation, are also analyzed. This study serves as a reference for the development of deep space exploration.
