Abstract
After successfully launching two space laboratories, namely, Tiangong-1 and Tiangong-2, China has announced her next plan of constructing the Chinese Space Station (CSS) in 2022. The CSS will provide not only platforms for Chinese scientists to carry out experimental studies in outer space but also opportunities for open international cooperation. In this article, we review the development of China's manned space exploration missions and the preliminary plan for CSS. Additionally, China has initiated space radiation research decades ago with both ground-based simulation research platform and space vehicles and has made noticeable progresses in several aspects. These include studies on human health risk assessment using mammalian cell cultures and animals as models. Furthermore, there have been numerous studies on assessing the space environment in plant breeding.
