Description
In this talk, I will summarize China's programs of astroparticle physics in space. The approved missions are the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) satellite mission for launch in 2015, the dedicated gamma-ray burst polarization expariment POLAR on China's spacelab for launch in 2015, the multiwavelength gamma-ray burst satellite mission SVOM for launch before 2020. Two missions under study and R&D will also be presented: the X-ray Timing and Polarization (XTP) observatory planned for launch around 2020 and the High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection (HERD) facility onboard China's spacestation for launch around 2020.
