China Aerospace Science and technology is the pioneer and outstanding representatives, known as "the father of Chinese space" and "The King of rockets." The review and preliminary analysis of long-range rockets, carried out in collaboration with others during the study in the United States, lays the foundations for the theory of ground-ground missiles and sounding rockets; the theory of hypersonic flow, presented with others, lays the foundation for the development of aerodynamics. In early 1956, to the CPC Central Committee, the State Council proposed the establishment of our national defense aviation industry submissions. In the same year, the State Council and the Central Military Commission, based on his recommendations, set up the Aviation Industry Council, the leading agency for missile and aeronautical scientific research, and was appointed as a member. 1956, was commissioned to form China's first rocket, Missile Research Institute-the Ministry of Defense of the Five Research Institute and as the initial dean. He presided over the "establishment of jet and rocket Technology" program, participated in the nearThe development of Cheng-short-range and China's first man-made Earth satellite directly led the use of the short-range carrying atomic bomb "two-bomb combination" test, participated in the formulation of the Chinese short-range carrying atomic bomb "two-bomb combination" test, participated in the formulation of China's first interstellar aviation development planning, the development of engineering cybernetics and systematics. In the air Dynamics, aviation engineering, Jet propulsion, engineering cybernetics, physical mechanics and other technical fields made a pioneering contribution.　　is the founder and advocate of the theory and application of modern mechanics and systems engineering in China. 1957 won first prize of Natural Science of Chinese Academy of Sciences. 1979 Outstanding Alumni Award from California Institute of Technology, USA. 1985 won the national Scientific and Technological progress Grand prize. 1989 won the "Small Rockwell Medal", "world-class science and Engineering celebrity" award and honorary member of the International Institute of Technology. October 1991 by the State Council, the Central Military Commission awarded the "National Outstanding contribution of scientists" honorary title and a hero Model medal. January 1995 was awarded the Outstanding Prize of the 1994 Ho Lee Fund. 1999, the Central Committee of the CPC, the State Council, the Military Commission decided to grant him the "Bombs meritorious medal."　　October 2006 won the "China Aerospace industry 50 years of the highest honor award."　　There are "Engineering cybernetics", "on System Engineering", "Introduction to Interstellar navigation" and so on. September 10, 2009, in the central propaganda Department, central organization, central Front, Central document Research Laboratory, the Central Party History Research Office, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Human Resources Social Security Department, the National Federation of the Communist Youth League, the National Women's Federation, the PLA Yongbo and other 11 departments jointly organized the　　Qian Xuesen was named "100 Chinese characters since the founding of the New China", with 100 heroes who have made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China and 100 Chinese characters since the founding of the New China.
