Abstract
We review the development of space astronomy in China. We mainly introduce the researches relevant to the developments of instruments for space astronomy in China. In particular, we describe in details the Chinese Space Solar Telescope. It should be emphasized that the data analysis for the observations taken from spacecrafts is an important part in the space astronomy and Chinese astronomers have made significant progresses in analyzing data taken from foreign spacecrafts in different branches in astronomy, which are not included in this review, however. The contents of this paper are as follows. 1. The un-completed project “Astronomy-1” satellite 2. Hard X-ray, Soft γ-ray and Infrared Astronomy by Balloon Flights 3. Cosmic Gamma-Ray Burst Spectrometers onboard Spacecrafts 4. Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) 5. Lunar Exploration Project of China 6. The Space Solar Telescope 7. The Long-term Plans 8. Ground-based Supporting Systems for Space Astronomy
