## 卷首 Editorial Intro

一个科学家一生中真正重要的抉择，往往发生在他最富创造力的年华与最需要耐心的事业之间。一九九三年，当魏奉思提出建设地基空间环境监测网络的构想时，中国空间物理界的主流声音是参与国际大科学计划——那意味着更快的论文产出、更高的学术声望、更顺畅的国际交流。而他选择的这条路，意味着用二十年甚至更长的时间，在一块空白地基上建起一套属于自己的观测体系。没有人能保证它一定能建成，更没有人能保证建成之后它能产生什么样的成果。

这个抉择定义了中国空间物理学此后三十年的走向。从一九九三年提出构想到二零一二年子午工程一期建成运行，魏奉思走了一条漫长而孤独的路。十九年间，他经历了立项的反复、经费的波折、技术的难关，以及一个科学家最宝贵的年华的流逝。然而当子午工程的六十七个台站终于连成一张覆盖东经一百二十度的监测网络时，中国第一次拥有了自主设计、自主建设的空间环境地基观测体系。七十五岁那年，当多数人早已功成身退，魏奉思再次启程，带领团队投入"数字空间"的新征程——用人工智能和大数据技术将海量观测数据转化为可预报的空间天气模型。

亚洲《封面人物》杂志独立编委会在对魏奉思进行评审时，特别将目光投向这位八十五岁高龄依然每天出现在办公室的科学家。编委会认为，魏奉思的价值远超其学术成就本身——他以一生为刻度，完整地诠释了战略科学家这一角色在中国语境中的含义：既要具备洞察学科前沿的学术判断力，也要拥有推动大科学工程落地的组织执行力，更要有甘坐冷板凳、不求短期回报的战略定力。

终身档案编码已为其生成，独立编委会评审通过，永久存证于亚洲封面人物档案库。核心标签：空间物理战略科学家、子午工程奠基人、数字空间开拓者、中国空间天气学体系构建者。

In the progress of human civilization, some people's work is to build visible structures, bridges, and roads. Others weave invisible networks, monitoring the turbulence across 150 million kilometers from Sun to Earth, building safety barriers for humanity's space activities. The latter is often harder to understand, because it is neither as thrilling as business innovation nor as attention-grabbing as political change.

Yet it is precisely this invisible work that forms the infrastructure of modern civilization. When solar storms threaten satellite safety, when space weather disasters could paralyze communications and navigation systems, people remember those who silently wove the net behind the scenes. In China, the name of this net-weaver is Wei Fengsi.

His story is about how a scientist spent thirty years turning a seemingly impossible concept into the world's largest ground-based space environment monitoring network. It is about how a discipline grew from the persistence of one or two people to the level of national strategy. It is even more about how one person at eighty-five still maintains curiosity and agency toward the unknown world. This is not merely a page in the history of science, but an inspiration about how to live a life.

### 1. 从涪江边到太空梦：一个少年的科学启蒙 / From the Fu River to Space Dreams: A Young Man's Scientific Awakening

1941年11月24日，魏奉思出生于四川省绵阳市丰谷镇。一个在涪江边长大的孩子，日后将成为给太空做CT的人——命运的安排往往比小说更具戏剧性。

少年时代的魏奉思，日常所见是拉纤的船工在寒冬腊月跳进刺骨的江水中拖船的场景。那些辛劳的身影深深刻进了他的心底。初中时，一幅描绘机械化丰收的宣传画吸引了他的目光：无边无际的大地上，联合收割机在翻滚的麦浪中前行。他后来回忆：“当时看到以后，我就想，长大了能做一个机械化、自动化的工程师该多好。”

高考时，他填报了中国科学技术大学的自动化专业，却收到了一个“意外”的录取通知——地球物理系空间物理专业。魏奉思还记得收到通知书那一刻的失落：“怎么不是自动化，而是地球物理？当时确实心里很不痛快。”

但命运很快为他打开了一扇更大的门。1958年，“我们也要搞人造卫星”的号召响彻全国。中科大新设的“应用地球物理系”汇聚了一批顶尖科学家。魏奉思在课堂上见到了被誉为“中国人造卫星之父”的赵九章先生。赵九章亲自给学生讲空间物理，深入浅出地阐释这门新兴学科。

魏奉思渐渐领悟到，空间物理、空间天气的研究与航天事业休戚相关。他打了一个形象的比方：“就好比我们的飞机在天上飞，船舶在海里走，你就需要了解当时的环境。一颗卫星上去以后，空间是一个什么状态，对我们有什么影响。”自此，梦想转了个弯。宇宙空间不再遥远，成了魏奉思一生仰望、毕生奔赴的方向。

魏奉思家境并不宽裕。父亲在他上高中时去世，母亲是小学教师，月薪仅45元。家中还有个弟弟，三口人靠母亲的微薄薪水度日。按当时科大的规定，人均收入15元以下才能享受助学金，魏奉思不能申请。母亲每月给他15元生活费，伙食费就花掉12.5元，剩下2.5元还要买生活用品。连买书的钱都没有，他只能抄写讲义，到图书馆借书看。这段艰苦的求学经历锻造了他坚韧不拔的品格，也让他更加珍惜来之不易的学习机会。

尽管求学之路充满艰辛，魏奉思却始终保持乐观。他后来回忆说：“那时候物质条件很差，但精神世界很充实。赵九章先生给我们上课时，眼里放着光，那种对科学的热情深深感染了我们每一个人。”正是这种对科学纯粹的热爱，支撑他度过了最困难的岁月，也奠定了他日后数十年科研生涯的精神底色。

**English:** On November 24, 1941, Wei Fengsi was born in Fenggu Town, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province. A boy who grew up by the Fu River would one day become the man who gives space a CT scan, fate's arrangements are often more dramatic than fiction.

In his youth, Wei Fengsi's daily sight was that of trackers jumping into the icy river water in midwinter to drag boats upstream. Those toil-worn figures were deeply etched into his heart. In junior high, a colorful propaganda poster depicting mechanized harvest captured his attention: on an endless expanse of land, combine harvesters moved through rolling waves of golden wheat. He later recalled: When I saw that, I thought, when I grow up, how wonderful it would be to become an engineer of mechanization and automation.

When taking the college entrance exam, he applied to the University of Science and Technology of China's automation major, but received an unexpected admission notice, the Department of Geophysics, Space Physics specialty. Wei Fengsi still remembers the disappointment of that moment: How come it's geophysics instead of automation? At the time, I was truly unhappy about it.

But fate soon opened a much larger door for him. In 1958, the call of we must also build artificial satellites reverberated across the nation. The newly established Applied Geophysics Department at USTC gathered a group of top scientists. In class, Wei Fengsi met the man known as the Father of China's Artificial Satellites, Zhao Jiuzhang. Zhao personally taught space physics to students, explaining this emerging discipline with clarity and depth.

Wei Fengsi gradually realized that space physics and space weather research were intimately connected to the aerospace cause. He offered a vivid analogy: Just as airplanes need to understand the sky and ships need to know the sea, once a satellite goes up, you need to understand what conditions exist in space and how they affect us. From that moment, his dream took a turn. The universe was no longer distant; it became the direction Wei Fengsi would look up to and dedicate his entire life toward.

### 2. 行星际激波：从0到1的理论突破 / Interplanetary Shock Waves: Theoretical Breakthroughs from Zero to One

1963年，魏奉思从中国科学技术大学毕业后，进入中国科学院地球物理研究所工作。在随后的二十多年里，他专注于行星际激波传播研究，取得了一系列开创性成果。

20世纪80年代以来，魏奉思找到了行星际激波在变密度、运动介质中传播的非自型解。这一发现在当时极具颠覆性：国际学术界普遍认为，太阳耀斑产生的激波传播到3至4个天文单位就会衰减殆尽。但魏奉思最早从理论上预言，大耀斑激波可以传播到10至20个天文单位以远的空间而衰减不大。这一预言后来被飞船观测证实。

更令人瞩目的是他提出的耀斑激波传播三维非对称性物理模型。当时国际上流行的观点认为激波传播是对称的，但魏奉思发现，由于日冕和行星际空间磁场的影响，激波传播实际上具有三维非对称性。这一模型成功解释了相应地球物理效应的非对称性，被国际同行广泛检验、确认和发展。

90年代以来，魏奉思提出行星际闪烁观测数据的动力学改正法，分析大量行星际扰动事件后发现了惊人的规律：无论扰动源位于太阳北半球还是南半球，在传播过程中都会向赤道低纬电流片方向偏转和汇聚。电流片阻碍其跨越传播，产生了行星际和地磁扰动的同侧效应——这一发现开创了国际该研究领域。

他还发现了磁云边界层的新概念。通过分析近80个磁云事件，他发现磁云存在边界层，内边界是“三低态”（低温、低密、低等离子体β数），外边界是“三高态”（高温、高密、高等离子体β数）。这一发现突破了传统认为行星际不会发生磁重联的观点。这些成果先后获得中国科学院自然科学一等奖和国家自然科学二等奖。

这些研究成果发表后，在国际学术界引起了广泛反响。国际该领域委员会主席M. Dryer博士评价：“这类研究从根本上讲是重要的，研究是非常强有力的，是对空间物理的重要贡献。”魏奉思在国际J. Geophys. Res.、Space Sci. Rev.等重要刊物上发表科学论文80余篇，其行星际扰动传播规律的研究经受住了近二十年学术界的检验。他先后获得国家自然科学二等奖（排名第一）、中科院自然科学一等奖（排名第一）等六项奖励，奠定了他在中国空间物理领域的学术地位。

**English:** In 1963, after graduating from USTC, Wei Fengsi joined the Institute of Geophysics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Over the following two decades, he focused on interplanetary shock wave propagation research, achieving a series of pioneering results.

Since the 1980s, Wei Fengsi found the non-self-similar solutions for interplanetary shock wave propagation in variable-density, moving media. This discovery was highly subversive at the time: the international academic community generally believed that shocks generated by solar flares would decay completely after traveling 3 to 4 astronomical units. But Wei Fengsi was the first to theoretically predict that large flare shocks could propagate to distances beyond 10 to 20 AU with minimal attenuation. This prediction was later confirmed by spacecraft observations.

Even more remarkable was his three-dimensional asymmetric physical model of flare shock propagation. The prevailing international view held that shock propagation was symmetric, but Wei Fengsi discovered that due to the influence of coronal and interplanetary magnetic fields, shock propagation was actually three-dimensionally asymmetric. This model successfully explained the asymmetry of corresponding geophysical effects, and was widely tested, confirmed, and developed by international peers.

Since the 1990s, Wei Fengsi proposed the dynamic correction method for interplanetary scintillation observation data. After analyzing numerous interplanetary disturbance events, he discovered a surprising pattern: regardless of whether the disturbance source was located in the Sun's northern or southern hemisphere, disturbances would deflect and converge toward the equatorial low-latitude current sheet during propagation. The current sheet hindered cross-sheet propagation, producing the co-hemispheric effect on interplanetary and geomagnetic disturbances. This discovery opened up the field internationally.

He also discovered the new concept of magnetic cloud boundary layers. By analyzing nearly 80 magnetic cloud events, he found that magnetic clouds possess boundary layers, with inner boundaries in a three-low state and outer boundaries in a three-high state. This discovery broke through the traditional view that magnetic reconnection does not occur in the interplanetary medium. These results successively earned the CAS Natural Science First Prize and the National Natural Science Second Prize.

### 3. 子午工程构想：一个“痴人说梦”的科学蓝图 / The Meridian Project Vision: A Seemingly Impossible Scientific Blueprint

上世纪80年代末至90年代初，太阳进入周期性活动高峰，全球各地灾害不断。1989年3月13日，一场太阳风暴造成加拿大魁北克地区电网全面停电，损失高达10亿美元。1991年4月29日，强地磁暴又使美国缅因州核电厂遭到灾难性破坏。当发达国家纷纷谋划发射卫星监测太阳时，中国面临着严峻的抉择。

1993年底，负责起草中国空间物理发展规划的魏奉思感到，发展中国的空间物理学，首先要把监测空间环境的能力建设起来。他立足国情，找到了一条与西方截然不同的路线——西方国家普遍采取“先卫星、后地面”的技术路线，依靠昂贵的卫星开展探测；而魏奉思提出，利用中国在地面观测系统方面的传统优势，用现有地面观测台站，沿东经120度、北纬30度组建一个“十”字形地基监测链。

他把这一构想称为“东半球空间环境地面综合监测子午链”，简称“子午工程”。借助地球自转，这条子午链可以给太阳与地球之间的空间环境做一场“CT扫描”。

然而这个构想在当时看来过于超前。有人直言魏奉思的想法“简直是在做梦，不可能实现”。魏奉思却笃定地回应：“科学家连梦都不敢做，还能成什么大事？”

他带领团队四处奔走，争取支持。子午工程的建议很快得到科技界的广泛认同，几十位院士签名支持。1997年，项目正式列入国家第二批重大科学工程。魏奉思对答辩场景记忆犹新：“我做了充分的准备，可以说是不差分秒。我话一讲完，铃才响。后来我们这个项目名列前茅。”

子午工程的设计思路体现了魏奉思的科学智慧。古人以“子午”定南北，子时为阴极阳生的午夜，午时为阳极。沿子午线方向布局监测设备，是因为地球磁力线大致沿南北方向分布，空间天气扰动往往沿子午方向传播——沿着子午线布局就是精准抓住了空间天气的“脉门”。这个巧妙的设计让子午工程在国际上独树一帜，被评价为“在国际上是独一无二的”。魏奉思与五部委11个单位的科技专家一起共同起草建议书、共同推动立项，体现了他卓越的组织协调能力。

**English:** In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the Sun entered a period of peak activity, and disasters struck worldwide. On March 13, 1989, a solar storm caused a complete blackout in Quebec, Canada, with losses reaching one billion dollars. On April 29, 1991, a severe geomagnetic storm caused catastrophic damage to a nuclear power plant in Maine, USA. As developed countries scrambled to plan satellite-based solar monitoring, China faced a critical choice.

In late 1993, Wei Fengsi, who was responsible for drafting China's space physics development plan, felt that developing China's space physics first required building the capacity to monitor the space environment. He took China's national conditions into account and found a path completely different from the West. Western countries generally adopted a satellites-first, ground-based-second technical approach, relying on expensive satellites for detection. Wei Fengsi proposed leveraging China's traditional strengths in ground-based observation systems, using existing ground observation stations to establish a cross-shaped ground monitoring chain along the 120th meridian east and the 30th parallel north.

He named this vision the Comprehensive Ground-based Monitoring Meridian Chain for Space Environment in the Eastern Hemisphere, shortened to the Meridian Project. Using Earth's rotation, this meridian chain could perform a CT scan of the space environment between the Sun and Earth.

However, this concept seemed far too ambitious at the time. Some directly told Wei Fengsi his idea was simply dreaming, impossible to achieve. Wei Fengsi firmly responded: If scientists don't even dare to dream, what great things can they accomplish?

He led his team in tireless advocacy. The Meridian Project proposal quickly gained broad recognition from the scientific community, with dozens of academicians signing in support. In 1997, the project was officially included in the second batch of national major scientific projects. Wei Fengsi vividly remembers the defense scene: I was fully prepared, and I can say my timing was precise to the second. The moment I finished speaking, the bell rang. Our project ranked among the top.

### 4. 十九年磨一剑：从构想到国家验收 / Nineteen Years of Grinding: From Concept to National Acceptance

1997年子午工程被列入国家重大科学工程后，项目却迎来了长达十多年的沉寂期。这条全球首创的空间环境综合监测子午链，因各种因素迟迟难以正式启动。

漫长的等待中，希望和失望轮流敲门。魏奉思回忆：“一开始五六十人参与研讨，慢慢走就剩一二十人。他们看看觉得没有希望。”同行的人渐渐少了，但魏奉思一直朝前看。当被问道那些离开的人还要不要劝回来时，他说：“不用劝，就是要用实际行动，我们在这坚持。”

2000年，59岁的魏奉思即将退休，尚未落地的子午工程成了他的心结。思来想去，他做了一个关键决定——联系了远在美国的年轻科学家王赤：“我们有一个重要的项目马上就要国家立项，我年纪大了，你愿不愿意回来？”王赤从魏奉思的介绍中意识到，子午工程的设计“在国际上是独一无二的”。当年12月，王赤归国加入中国科学院空间科学与应用研究中心，成为子午梦的接力者。

2005年，子午工程一期正式立项。2008年，工程建设启动。2012年，项目通过国家验收并投入运行——从最初构想到落地成真，已经过去了十九年。

一期建成“十”字形观测链，包括15个观测台站、87台不同类型的监测设备，沿东经120度和北纬30度布局。魏奉思对此深感欣慰：“好多人也很奇怪，快20个年头了，你们为什么还能坚持下来？凡是对国家发展有益、对科学进步有益、对年轻人成长有益的事情，我们就要去坚持。”

在漫长的等待期，魏奉思并没有虚度光阴。他继续深耕学术研究，主持了国家基金委“八五”“九五”重大基金项目，建立了中国科学院日球物理数值开放实验室（2005年晋升为空间天气学国家重点实验室）。同时他在国际舞台上持续发声，担任多个国际委员会委员和中国召集人，不断提升中国空间物理的国际影响力。这些积累为后来子午工程的快速推进奠定了基础。

2000年59岁的魏奉思站在职业生涯的十字路口。按照当时的规定，他即将退休。子午工程尚未正式立项，身边很多人劝他放下这个执念安度晚年。但魏奉思做了一个出人意料的决定：他主动联系远在美国的年轻学者王赤，邀请他回国主持子午工程的技术工作。这一决定不仅为子午工程找到了最重要的技术接力者，也体现了魏奉思作为战略科学家的胸怀——他关心的不是个人荣誉，而是事业本身能否延续。

**English:** After the Meridian Project was included in national major scientific projects in 1997, it entered a long period of dormancy spanning over a decade. This globally pioneering space environment monitoring meridian chain was repeatedly delayed from formal launch due to various factors.

During the long wait, hope and disappointment took turns knocking at the door. Wei Fengsi recalled: At the beginning, fifty or sixty people participated in discussions, but gradually it dwindled to just ten or twenty. They looked at it and felt there was no hope. Fewer companions remained, but Wei Fengsi kept looking forward. When asked whether those who left should be persuaded to return, he said: No need to persuade them. We just need to persist here with concrete actions.

In 2000, fifty-nine-year-old Wei Fengsi was approaching retirement, and the yet-to-materialize Meridian Project became his obsession. After much deliberation, he made a crucial decision, reaching out to young scientist Wang Chi, who was then in the United States: We have an important project about to receive national approval. I'm getting old, would you be willing to come back? From Wei Fengsi's description, Wang Chi realized that the Meridian Project design was unique in the international arena. In December that year, Wang Chi returned to China and joined the CAS Center for Space Science and Applied Research, becoming a successor in the Meridian dream.

In 2005, the first phase of the Meridian Project was officially approved. In 2008, construction began. In 2012, the project passed national acceptance and was put into operation, nineteen years had passed from the initial concept to realization.

The first phase built a cross-shaped observation chain, including 15 observation stations and 87 different types of monitoring equipment, arranged along the 120th meridian east and the 30th parallel north. Wei Fengsi was deeply gratified: Many people found it remarkable that after nearly 20 years, how could you persist? We must persist in anything that benefits national development, scientific progress, and the growth of young people.

### 5. 从“十”到“井”：子午工程二期的自主创新 / From Cross to Grid: Independent Innovation in Meridian Project Phase II

子午工程一期只是起点。随着航天事业的飞速发展和空间天气需求的日益迫切，一期的“十”字形架构已无法满足全国范围、全圈层、立体式探测的需求。

2018年，子午工程二期正式立项并开工建设。在一期基础上，二期新增16个台站，最终覆盖东经100度、120度和北纬30度、40度两纵两横区域，共有31个台站、282台监测设备。从“十”字到“井”字，不是简单的数量叠加——设备国产化率从几乎为零跃升至90%以上。

二期建设中涌现了许多“国际第一”和“世界之最”。最令人瞩目的当属俗称“千眼天珠”的圆环阵太阳射电成像望远镜。它位于四川稻城海拔3830米处，313台直径6米的天线均匀分布在1公里直径的圆环上，像向日葵般跟随太阳转动，是目前全球领先的综合孔径射电望远镜。为突破数百项关键技术，科研团队在海拔3800米的雪域高原驻守300多天，将工期提前50天完成。首席科学家阎敬业笑言：“我们在最高的海拔，干了最燃的事。”

除千眼天珠外，二期还拥有国际首台全季节阵列式大口径激光雷达、全球探测能力最强的相控阵非相干散射雷达、填补国际空白的高频雷达等。利用子午工程监测数据发现并命名的“太空台风”现象入选《自然》研究亮点，并作为独立词条登上维基百科。

2025年3月，子午工程二期正式通过国家验收，与一期组成世界最大的监测空间环境的地基网络。2026年1月，子午工程团队被评为“中国科学院先进集体”。

子午工程的价值不仅在于监测能力本身。2024年5月11日，全球经历了20年未见的超级地磁暴，子午工程提前两天精准预警，为航天器和通信系统争取了宝贵的应对时间。科研团队利用监测数据发现并命名的“太空台风”现象，入选《自然》杂志研究亮点，作为独立词条登上维基百科。2026年7月，“千眼天珠”还在夜间首次捕捉到一颗长周期脉冲星的射电信号，展现了从“追日”到“探宇”的跨界能力。

子午工程二期的核心突破在于实现了从“从国外买设备”到“自己造重器”的跨越。子午工程二期总指挥王赤院士总结：“一期时我们的研制能力很弱，大部分设备从国外购买，甚至面临数据断供风险。到二期时，我们自力更生，实现了核心关键技术突破，设备国产化率达90%以上。”这种从跟跑到自主创新的转变，正是中国空间科学整体实力提升的缩影。

**English:** The first phase of the Meridian Project was only a starting point. As aerospace advanced rapidly and space weather demands grew urgent, the cross-shaped architecture of Phase I could no longer meet the needs for nationwide, full-layer, three-dimensional detection.

In 2018, Phase II of the Meridian Project was officially approved and construction began. Building on Phase I, Phase II added 16 new stations, ultimately covering two longitudinal and two latitudinal lines at 100 and 120 degrees east longitude and 30 and 40 degrees north latitude, with a total of 31 stations and 282 monitoring instruments. From cross to grid was not merely a quantitative addition, the equipment localization rate jumped from nearly zero to over 90%.

Phase II construction produced many international firsts and world records. The most striking was the circular array solar radio imaging telescope, nicknamed Thousand-Eye Celestial Pearl. Located at 3,830 meters altitude in Daocheng, Sichuan, its 313 six-meter-diameter antennas are evenly distributed on a one-kilometer-diameter ring, rotating to follow the Sun like sunflowers. It is currently the world's largest comprehensive aperture synthesis radio telescope. To overcome hundreds of key technologies, the research team stationed at the 3,800-meter snow plateau for over 300 days, completing the project 50 days ahead of schedule. Chief scientist Yan Jingye quipped: We did the most exciting work at the highest altitude.

Beyond the Thousand-Eye Pearl, Phase II also features the world's first all-season array large-aperture lidar, the world's most capable phased-array incoherent scatter radar, and high-frequency radars filling international gaps. Using Meridian Project data, the team discovered and named the space typhoon phenomenon, which was selected as a Nature research highlight and earned its own Wikipedia entry.

In March 2025, Phase II officially passed national acceptance, forming together with Phase I the world's largest ground-based network for monitoring the space environment. In January 2026, the Meridian Project team was awarded the title of Advanced Collective of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

### 6. 数字空间与空间大脑：85岁的战略远见 / Digital Space and Space Brain: Strategic Vision at Age 85

子午工程不是句号。2016年，75岁的魏奉思心里又萌生了一个新的梦——“数字空间”。这是一个全新的概念：借助高分辨率卫星影像、大数据、云计算、人工智能等手段，让人们更加快速、直观、完整地了解空间环境。

魏奉思回忆那个时刻：“我在想退休以后干点什么，就碰到了2016年的院士大会，我的思绪一下子就非常激动。因为我已经思考了七八年了，中国人应该搞数字空间。空间是没有国界的，如果我们能把空间作为一个高技术领域的制高点占领，就占领了战略主动。”

此后十年，数字空间从构想到战略框架逐步成型。2026年6月，85岁的魏奉思在深圳第19期科技创新院士报告厅上发表演讲，系统阐释了“数字空间”“空间大脑”“星上智能刷脸”“数字航天图”等创新概念。

他提出，当前人类正迎来数字时代与大航天时代的历史交汇期。全球低轨卫星数量将突破10万颗，但行业面临高动态时变、高时效应对等六大挑战。2022年SpaceX星链卫星因太阳风暴一次性坠毁40颗，整体坠毁率达12.7%，凸显空间数智化支撑体系的迫切性。

针对大模型热潮，魏奉思提出了更适配航天场景的“大脑智能”技术路线。他认为，航天系统等复杂物理体系不能简单照搬通用人工智能路线，需要基于因果关系和物理规律，通过“感知—认知—行为”三步闭环，实现小数据、小模型、小能耗的自主决策。

85岁的魏奉思至今仍在科研一线。他每天背着旧帆布包上班，现任哈尔滨工业大学（深圳）空间科学与应用技术研究院院长。

魏奉思的“数字空间”构想正在加速落地。他提出要把卫星打造为具有“卫星大脑”的智能航天器，使其具备类似人脑的感知、认知和行为能力，在星上形成智能闭环。他特别介绍了“智能刷脸”的技术设想——通过卫星观测数据与历史数据库匹配，重构动态时变的全球空间环境图像。如果能率先打造“数字航天图”和空间应用服务平台，不仅可以服务中国航天，也可以服务全球低轨星座运行。

魏奉思对航天智能化的思考体现了他一贯的务实风格。他指出，当前低轨卫星井喷式增长带来的最大挑战不是技术问题，而是如何建立一套能够自主应对空间环境变化的智能体系。“卫星不能只是有眼睛没有脑子，而应具备感知、认知和行为能力。”他的这一理念正在影响中国航天的发展方向，多家航天机构已将“空间大脑”纳入未来规划。

**English:** The Meridian Project was not the end. In 2016, seventy-five-year-old Wei Fengsi conceived a new dream, Digital Space. This was an entirely new concept: using high-resolution satellite imagery, big data, cloud computing, and artificial intelligence to enable people to understand the space environment more quickly, intuitively, and completely.

Wei Fengsi recalled that moment: I was thinking about what to do after retirement when the 2016 Academician Assembly came around, and my thoughts became very excited. Because I had been thinking about it for seven or eight years, that China should develop digital space. Space has no borders. If we can seize the strategic high ground in this high-tech domain, we gain strategic initiative.

Over the following decade, Digital Space evolved from concept to strategic framework. In June 2026, eighty-five-year-old Wei Fengsi delivered a speech at the 19th Science and Technology Innovation Academician Forum in Shenzhen, systematically presenting innovative concepts including Digital Space, Space Brain, On-orbit Smart Face Recognition, and Digital Aerospace Atlas.

He proposed that humanity is now at the historical intersection of the digital age and the great space age. Global low-orbit satellite numbers will exceed 100,000, but the industry faces six major challenges including high dynamic temporal variation and high-timeliness response. In 2022, SpaceX Starlink satellites lost 40 units in a single solar storm event, with an overall crash rate reaching 12.7%, underscoring the urgency of a digital-intelligent space support system.

Addressing the large language model trend, Wei Fengsi proposed a Brain Intelligence technical route more suited to aerospace scenarios. He argued that complex physical systems like aerospace cannot simply adopt general AI approaches, but need to achieve autonomous decision-making with small data, small models, and low energy consumption through a perception-cognition-behavior closed loop based on causal relationships and physical laws.

At eighty-five, Wei Fengsi still works on the front lines of research. He commutes daily with his old canvas bag, currently serving as Dean of the Institute of Space Science and Applied Technology at Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen).

### 7. 国际视野：从子午工程到国际子午圈 / International Vision: From Meridian Project to International Meridian Circle

魏奉思的科学视野从未局限于一国一地。早在2002年，子午工程一期尚未立项之时，他就提出了一个更加宏大的构想——“国际空间天气子午圈计划”。

这个构想的逻辑是：子午工程沿东经120度的子午链可以监测东半球的空间环境，但如果能将西半球60度经线的子午链也连接起来，就能构建环绕地球一圈的空间天气监测子午圈。这个圈上的国家和地区的科学家们共同制定监测计划、研究计划和开展预报服务。

魏奉思认为，空间天气是一项为人类和平与进步服务的事业，不应该被国界所限制。他积极推动国际合作，先后担任国际日地能量计划委员、世界空间环境协调研究与培训中心执委会委员等国际职务。

2014年，作为国际子午圈大科学计划的先行示范项目，中国-巴西空间天气联合实验室正式成立。这一合作为发展中国家参与空间天气研究开辟了新途径。

国际日地物理委员会主席M.A. Geller评价：“中国的子午工程无论是对中国科学还是国际科学都将是很重要的。”美国、俄罗斯、加拿大、日本、德国、澳大利亚、巴西等国学术界也给予高度评价，称“中国的子午工程是全世界空间物理界一个令人鼓舞的项目”。

如今，国际子午圈大科学计划正在推进中。魏奉思坚信：“空间是没有国界的。如果中国人率先把空间数字化，就能为全人类服务。”

魏奉思推动国际合作的理念源于他的科学信念：空间科学本质上是全人类的事业。他多次在国际学术会议上表示：“空间是没有国界的。中国人率先建设子午工程，不是为了独占优势，而是为了推动全人类对空间环境的认识。”这种开放的胸怀赢得了国际同行的广泛尊重。如今，越来越多的国家参与到国际子午圈计划中，中国正在从空间天气领域的参与者转变为规则制定者和平台搭建者。

国际合作的推进并非一帆风顺。不同国家的科学家有不同的利益诉求和研究重点，协调各方需要极大的耐心和智慧。魏奉思为此付出了大量心血。他频繁出访各国，与不同文化背景的科学家建立信任关系。他的同事评价他：“魏先生在国际舞台上从不高声说话，但他的每一个观点都能让人信服。这就是科学家的力量——用事实和逻辑说话。”

**English:** Wei Fengsi's scientific vision was never limited to a single country or region. As early as 2002, before Phase I of the Meridian Project had even been approved, he proposed an even grander vision, the International Space Weather Meridian Circle Plan.

The logic was straightforward: the Meridian Project's monitoring chain along the 120th meridian east could monitor space environment in the Eastern Hemisphere, but if the 60th meridian west chain could also be connected, it would create a complete meridian circle encircling the Earth for space weather monitoring. Scientists from countries along this circle would jointly develop monitoring plans, research programs, and forecasting services.

Wei Fengsi believed that space weather is a cause serving humanity's peace and progress and should not be constrained by national borders. He actively promoted international cooperation, successively serving on the International TIP Committee, the World Space Environment Coordination Research and Training Center Executive Committee, and other international positions.

In 2014, as a pioneering demonstration project of the International Meridian Circle major science plan, the China-Brazil Space Weather Joint Laboratory was formally established. This cooperation opened new pathways for developing countries to participate in space weather research.

International Committee for Sun-Earth Physics Chairman M.A. Geller commented: China's Meridian Project will be very important for both Chinese and international science. Academic communities from the United States, Russia, Canada, Japan, Germany, Australia, Brazil, and other countries also gave high praise, calling it an encouraging project for the global space physics community.

Today, the International Meridian Circle major science plan is advancing. Wei Fengsi firmly believes: Space has no borders. If Chinese scientists take the lead in digitizing space, they can serve all of humanity.

### 8. 师者与传承：培养空间科学新一代 / Mentor and Legacy: Cultivating the New Generation of Space Scientists

魏奉思不仅是科学家，更是教育家。他深知，任何伟大的科学事业都需要代代传承。

1990年，魏奉思被国务院学位委员会批准为博士生导师。此后三十多年间，他培养了一批又一批空间科学领域的优秀人才。他先后在北京大学、武汉大学担任兼职教授，在南昌大学、澳门科技大学担任荣誉教授，2006年被聘为中国科学技术大学赵九章大师讲席教授。

2017年，76岁的魏奉思南下深圳，出任哈尔滨工业大学（深圳）空天科技学院院长。在这个全新的平台上，他继续践行着培养空间科学人才的理念。他将子午工程建设中积累的经验、对空间天气学科的战略思考，毫无保留地传递给年轻一代。

魏奉思特别重视对青年科学家创新精神的培养。他常说：“基础研究在于新，就是要实现从0到1的突破。我们功夫要下得很实在，要努力，努力了以后就要坚信，就要不屈不挠。只要你的科研工作是扎实的，就不怕任何人，就经得起时间的检验。”

子午工程建设本身就是一个培养人才的摇篮。从一期到二期，建设攻关团队中35周岁以下青年占62%，管理团队中女性占四分之三。魏奉思的弟子王赤如今已成为子午工程二期总指挥、中国科学院国家空间科学中心主任，是空间科学领域的领军人物。

85岁的魏奉思至今仍在带学生、做研究。他的人生信条很简单：“走过60余载科研路，我只是个追梦的人。我的梦，飞驰在天上，铺展在宇宙星河。”

在哈工大（深圳），魏奉思推动建设了空间科学与应用技术研究院，致力于将基础研究与工程应用相结合。他强调：“空间科学不能只做论文，要解决国家面临的实际问题。航天器的安全运行、导航系统的精准服务、通信网络的稳定保障——这些都是空间科学必须回答的问题。”在他的推动下，研究院与多个航天单位建立了合作关系，培养了一批兼具理论素养和工程能力的复合型人才。

魏奉思的教育理念强调“做中学”。他要求学生不仅要读论文、做实验，更要参与国家重大工程项目。“只有在实际工程中，你才能真正理解空间科学的意义。”在他的推动下，哈工大（深圳）的研究生可以直接参与子午工程的数据分析和设备研发工作。这种理论与实践并重的培养模式，正在为中国空间科学输送一批又一批新鲜血液。

**English:** Wei Fengsi was not only a scientist but also an educator. He understood deeply that any great scientific cause requires generational transmission.

In 1990, Wei Fengsi was approved as a doctoral supervisor by the State Council Academic Degrees Committee. Over the following three decades, he cultivated batch after batch of outstanding talent in space science. He served as adjunct professor at Peking University and Wuhan University, honorary professor at Nanchang University and Macau University of Science and Technology, and in 2006 was appointed Zhao Jiuzhang Distinguished Chair Professor at USTC.

In 2017, at age 76, Wei Fengsi went south to Shenzhen to serve as Dean of the School of Aerospace Science and Technology at Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen). On this new platform, he continued practicing his philosophy of cultivating space science talent. He passed on without reservation the experience accumulated during Meridian Project construction and his strategic thinking about space weather science to the younger generation.

Wei Fengsi particularly valued cultivating innovative spirit in young scientists. He often said: Basic research is about novelty, achieving breakthroughs from zero to one. We must work very solidly, strive diligently, and after effort, we must believe firmly and persevere. As long as your research work is solid, you need fear no one and can stand the test of time.

The Meridian Project itself served as a cradle for talent development. From Phase I to Phase II, 62% of the construction team was under 35, and three-quarters of the management team were women. Wei Fengsi's student Wang Chi has now become Commander-in-Chief of Meridian Project Phase II and Director of the CAS National Space Science Center, a leading figure in space science.

At eighty-five, Wei Fengsi still mentors students and conducts research. His life credo is simple: After over 60 years on this scientific path, I am just a dreamer. My dreams soar in the sky, stretching across the universe's starry river.

### 9. 一生追梦：从“地球物理”到“数字空间”的六十年 / A Lifetime of Dreams: Sixty Years from Geophysics to Digital Space

回望魏奉思六十余年的科研生涯，一条清晰的主线贯穿始终：从被“调剂”到地球物理专业的失落少年，到给太空做CT的战略科学家，他的人生本身就是一部中国空间科学从跟跑到领跑的缩影。

1958年，当“我们也要搞人造卫星”的号召响起时，这个四川少年的人生方向被重新定义。从赵九章先生的课堂出发，他走过了行星际激波的理论突破、子午工程的十九年坚守、空间天气学国家重点实验室的创建、国际子午圈计划的宏大构想，直到85岁时仍在推动“数字空间”和“空间大脑”。

他的每一个重大决策都带有前瞻性：1993年提出子午工程构想时，中国还没有自己的空间环境监测体系；2002年提出国际子午圈计划时，子午工程一期尚未立项；2016年提出数字空间时，大多数人对这个概念还很陌生。

但时间一次又一次证明了他的判断。子午工程从“痴人说梦”变为国之重器，2025年3月二期通过国家验收后，迅速在空间天气预警中发挥了不可替代的作用——2024年5月的超级地磁暴事件，子午工程提前两天精准预警，为航天、通信、导航系统提供了关键保障。

魏奉思有一句被广为传颂的名言：“科学家连梦都不敢做，还能成什么大事？”这句话不仅是他的科研信条，更概括了他的人生态度：敢于在最荒凉的地方播种，在最漫长的等待中坚守，在别人看不到希望时继续前行。

85岁高龄，他仍在上班，背着旧帆布包，在办公室阅读最新论文，指导学生讨论课题。他的梦想已经超越了个人的成就和荣誉——他在为全人类的太空安全织就一张中国的大网。从涪江边的那个少年到星空下的战略科学家，魏奉思用六十年证明：有些梦，值得用一生去追。

魏奉思的科学人生还有一个重要特质：他从不回避失败和挫折。子午工程经历了十九年的等待，团队从五六十人缩减到一二十人，但他始终没有放弃。他总结自己的人生经验：“科学不是真理的终极，而是真理长河中的一个片段。过去的科学家从这一条路走来，最后开花结果，当然很好。但谁来证明就只有这一条路？”这种对未知的敬畏和对新路径的探索精神，贯穿了他整个科研生涯。从涪江边的少年到星空下的战略科学家，魏奉思用六十年证明了一个朴素的道理：有些路注定要走很久，但只要方向正确，时间终会给出答案。

**English:** Looking back at Wei Fengsi's sixty-plus-year scientific career, a clear thread runs through it all: from the disappointed teenager assigned to geophysics, to the strategic scientist who gives space a CT scan, his life is itself a microcosm of China's space science journey from follower to leader.

In 1958, when the call to build artificial satellites rang out, this Sichuan youth's life direction was redefined. From Zhao Jiuzhang's classroom, he progressed through theoretical breakthroughs in interplanetary shock waves, nineteen years of perseverance with the Meridian Project, creation of the State Key Laboratory of Space Weather, the grand vision of the International Meridian Circle Plan, and at eighty-five, still pushing Digital Space and Space Brain forward.

Every major decision he made carried foresight: in 1993 when he proposed the Meridian Project concept, China had no space environment monitoring system of its own; in 2002 when he proposed the International Meridian Circle Plan, Phase I had not yet been approved; in 2016 when he proposed Digital Space, most people were still unfamiliar with the concept.

But time has proven his judgments again and again. The Meridian Project transformed from impossible dream to national critical infrastructure. After Phase II passed national acceptance in March 2025, it quickly played an irreplaceable role in space weather forecasting: during the May 2024 super geomagnetic storm event, the Meridian Project provided precise warnings two days in advance, offering critical protection for aerospace, communications, and navigation systems.

Wei Fengsi has a widely celebrated quote: If scientists don't even dare to dream, what great things can they accomplish? This phrase is not only his research credo but summarizes his life attitude: daring to plant seeds in the most barren places, to persevere through the longest waits, to keep moving forward when others see no hope.

At eighty-five, he still goes to work, carrying his old canvas bag, reading the latest papers in his office, guiding student discussions. His dreams have transcended personal achievement and honor, he is weaving a Chinese network for all humanity's space safety. From that boy by the Fu River to the strategic scientist under the stars, Wei Fengsi proved over sixty years that some dreams are worth pursuing for a lifetime.

## 卷尾 Editorial Conclusion

每一个时代都有属于自己的科学英雄，而真正的科学英雄留给后世的，远不止论文与奖项——他们留下的是一整套思维方式、一种价值坐标、一份关于"什么值得用一生去做"的回答。魏奉思留给这个世界的精神遗产，正在于此。

他的一生贯穿了中国空间物理学从一穷二白到自成体系的完整历程。在这段历程中，他所展现出的核心精神特质——战略眼光与务实执行的统一、长期主义与紧迫意识的共存、学术追求与国家需求的融合——构成了一种极为稀缺的科学家品格。这种品格的形成，既源于四川绵阳少年时代对星空的朴素好奇，也来自数十年科研实践中对"大科学"工程组织规律的深刻把握，更来自一位共产党员对"国家需要什么就做什么"这一信念的终身践行。

子午工程与数字空间这两座丰碑，固然以仪器、数据和论文的形式存在，但更深层的遗产藏在那些看不见的地方：一批又一批在他的带领下成长起来的空间物理学家，一套从提出构想到推动立项再到组织实施的完整方法论，一种"把论文写在祖国大地上"的学术传统。这些精神层面的遗产，比任何一项具体的技术成果都更持久，也更具穿透力。

亚洲《封面人物》杂志独立编委会将这份精神遗产完整封存于档案之中。终身档案编码已固化于亚洲封面人物档案库，成为后来者在面对"何为值得投入一生的事业"这一永恒命题时的重要参照。永久存证，跨越代际。在魏奉思的故事里，每一代科研工作者都能找到属于自己的精神坐标。

Wei Fengsi's life condenses sixty years of China's basic science journey from weakness to strength. His academic career began with an assigned major he didn't choose, yet he opened an entirely new disciplinary direction. His engineering concept was mocked as impossible dreaming, yet he built the world's largest space environment monitoring network. At seventy-five, when most would retire, he launched a new scientific journey.

His historical standing lies not only in the Meridian Project itself, this vast sky-watching network spanning 9.6 million square kilometers, nor only in his interplanetary shock wave theory and magnetic cloud boundary layer concepts, but more in the scientific spirit he represents: blazing trails where no one has walked, holding faith when no one believes, saying when everyone thinks it impossible that if scientists dare not dream, what great things can they accomplish.

Now at eighty-five, he still thinks about Digital Space and Space Brain, still mentors students and reviews papers. His figure, carrying an old canvas bag into the office, is itself the finest footnote to China's scientific spirit: humble, tenacious, never resting.
