Jointly organised by the HKSAR Government and the China National Space Administration (CNSA), the “National Development and Achievements Series — Endless Exploration: The Journey of Chinese Aerospace, Aviation and Navigation” exhibition is being held at the Hong Kong Science Museum from 1 August to 7 September 2025. The exhibition features three main zones dedicated to space, aviation and maritime exploration, as well as a Hong Kong zone showcasing the significant contributions by local scientists to national space exploration and deep-sea research. Over one hundred exhibits and installations are on display, and admission is free for all members of the public.

The Hong Kong section showcases two innovations developed by the team of Prof. YUNG Kai-leung, Director of Research Centre for Deep Space Explorations (RCDSE), highlighting Hong Kong’s significant contribution to the Nation’s space endeavours. The exhibits include the “Surface Sampling and Packing System”, which and successfully returned lunar soil samples back to Earth in the Chang’e-5 and Chang’e-6 lunar missions; and the “Mars Camera”, which monitored the status of Zhurong rover for the Tianwen-1 Mars mission

This exhibition not only allows the public to appreciate the Nation’s latest achievements in aerospace, aviation and maritime technology up close, but also inspires the younger generation’s passion and dreams for scientific exploration, injecting new impetus into Hong Kong’s innovation and technology development. We warmly invite everyone to visit and explore the boundless possibilities of Chinese science and technology.
