Space law education in China: Status quo,shortcomings and possible ways out

Space law education has an essential role in the space capacity building of a country because of its importance for human resources development in space law. Comparisons between Canada and China, the European Union and China and the United States of America (USA) and China in space law degree education, course, teaching methodology, institute and practice and communication platform are provided in an attempt to review some issues which exist within the Chinese space law educational system and to seek a better choice for China’s space law education reform. Chinese space law education has achieved noticeable progress over the past two decades. However, it is still limited in comparison to its counterparts in Europe and Northern America. The range of the space law degree education programmes and space-law-related courses is comparatively limited. A gap remains between space law education and practice in China. Chinese space law classes are still dominated by the teacher-centred teaching methodology, although several universities have some new teaching practices. The establishment of seven space law-related research institutes plays an increasingly important role in Chinese space law education, space law and policy research and legal advisory services for the Chinese government and non-governmental sectors. However, these institutes still have a long way to go in comparison with their counterparts in Europe and Northern America. While China has established domestic research platforms for space law communication through international cooperation, it does not provide space law practice platforms for space law education. While international space law does not provide a direct legal foundation for space law education in China, Chinese educational laws can lay a profound legal foundation for Chinese space law education. To promote its national expertise and capacity in space law, based on the three-pillar model and the experiences of its counterparts in North America and Europe, China should adopt a systematic and sustainable regime for its space law education.

自适应1553B总线通信功能系统级测试方法设计

一些通信卫星通过自适应1553B总线通讯，因此总线控制端在上电前对终端设备的内部遥测参数容量、存储位置是未知的，而是在系统上电后及运行期间动态地维护当前所有终端设备的状态信息，并由总线控制端通过对终端设备的轮询确定终端设备的总线接入状态，并动态获取终端设备的自描述信息，从而解决综合电子总线自适应性能单一、普适性差、数据动态交互机制弱的缺陷。针对某通信卫星自适应1553B总线通信功能，提出一种精准快捷的通信卫星1553B总线测试系统，通过1553B总线终端监视与处理设备，分别对1553B总线的自描述信息动态轮询获取功能和A/B总线自适应轮询功能进行测试，实现对自适应1553B总线实时监视与分析功能。实验表明，该测试系统有效验证了卫星1553B总线自适应通信功能，为总线通信的有效性和实时性提供保障。
