Scientist advocates greater cooperation among the stars

Moreover, China will also offer opportunities to carry scientific instruments of other countries on the Chang'e-6 lunar mission and asteroid probe mission, and will jointly initiate the construction of an international lunar research station with Russia, Wu says.

"China's new scientific satellite program for 2025 to 2030 is now under discussion, and several of them will include international cooperation," he says.

Wu is now working to promote cooperation among China, the United States, Japan, Finland, Russia, Brazil, and other countries, to establish a constellation of 10 small satellites to probe the Earth's radiation belts and provide a theoretical basis for space weather forecasting.

In addition to being a scientist, Wu has another identity－science fiction writer. In his books, he envisions a future in which more people travel in space.

"When people look back at the Earth from outer space, their perception will definitely change. They will love their planet even more, and become an advocate of building a community with a shared future," he says.
