摘要

This year is remarkable for the Chinese space industry, as it marks the 60th anniversary of its establishment, and also coincides with the expiration of the National High-Tech Research and Development Program of China (also widely known as the 863 Program) after three decades. As full participants and the chief scientist of this milestone program for the last decade, we are strongly inspired by the profound role of modern astrodynamics in Chinese space practices. Sharing a common starting point with planetary science, astrodynamics is rooted in the findings of Kepler and Galileo, and its theory was first formulated by Newton. This paper aims to tell the story of the progress and development of astrodynamics in the context of China's space technology reflected throughout the 30-year-long National Space High-Tech Program: the explosive growth of recent Chinese space missions has been strongly encouraged by the progressing of modern astrodynamics. As the plotline of this article, the milestones of Chinese space flight, most of which were supported by the 863 Program, were collected and organized within the framework of the main achievements in modern astrodynamics, and as it will be demonstrated, these amazing space activities paint a clear picture that can be understood as a part of the great journey of human space exploration.
