The reporter learned on the 4th from the 2026 International Conference on Deep Space Exploration that China officially launched the International Earth-Moon Cube Constellation Science Program. It plans to join forces with many countries to deploy satellite constellations in Earth-Moon space to carry out tasks such as space environment monitoring, gamma-ray storm detection, and lunar resource exploration. The initial plan is to complete all satellite launches and deployments around 2030 to fill the gaps in systematic observation of the global Earth-Moon space. The Earth-Moon space extends from low Earth orbit to about 2 million kilometers from Earth. It is a new airspace for humans to expand activity space, and it is also a core activity area for future manned lunar landing and lunar base construction. For a long time, human perception has mainly relied on single-point detection. There are problems such as insufficient spatio-temporal coverage and scarce data in key regions, and there is an urgent need for systematic continuous observation.
