The 2020 Future Space Scholars Meet (FSSM) was held from October 2 to 6 in Beijing, China. This FSSM continues the theme of "Deep Space · Dream." More than three hundred (300) senior high school students from over twenty (20) provinces, cities, and autonomous regions in China gathered in Beijing to set up six companies on the site, which served as teams for the design and bidding of the mission of conference to display their exploration and design achievements on future aerospace. More than thirty (30) experts in the aerospace field were invited to attend the meeting as Q&A exchange experts and assessors.



Dr. Jin Tian, an expert and associate professor of the Centre in Satellite Navigation Direction, participated in the opening ceremony on behalf of the Centre and reviewed the development plans of the "Sky View" space hotel provided by six (6) virtual companies. Meanwhile, he made detailed comments on the structure and materials, operation and life insurance, human settlement and health, and commercial development tasks of the space hotel from four aspects: rationality, integrity, economy, and consistency. The conference selected several awards, including gold medal company, best commercial company and so on, and presented awards to the winning teams.



FSSM is a challenging activity that requires teamwork and individual responsibility to accomplish each part of the task. Companies formed by various teams work together to carry out 24-hour extreme design, present planning assignments on the site, and challenge all participants' mental and physical limits by communicating and collaborating across departments and designing complex tasks in a limited amount of time. Through teamwork, those participants can complete the challenges that one person can not accomplish. More importantly, by implementing such a model, participants can personally experience the cooperation and collaboration needed in future society. In this activity, the student teams fully display and practice the comprehensive knowledge, skills and innovation ability in mathematics, physics, computer, engineering, business, life science, art design, and other fields, as well as the core competencies and qualities necessary for talents in the 21st century, such as scientific research, problem-solving, teamwork and project management.
