Prof. WU Bo, Associate Director of the Research Centre for Deep Space Explorations (RCDSE), Fiona Cheung Professor in Spatial Science and Associate Head (Research) of the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics, delivered a public lecture on 7 December 2024, to give secondary school students an in-depth overview of lunar exploration achievements and potential strategies for lunar base development. The lecture attracted students from 94 secondary schools and international schools in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area. The students participated enthusiastically in the interactive question-and-answer session, demonstrating their keen interest in space exploration.
The lecture is one of the activities under the PolyU space-themed programme “Pioneering the Moon: From Exploration to Base Construction”, which includes thematic lectures and a Lunar Base Design Competition. Launched in the 2024/25 academic year, the programme is organised by PolyU and sponsored by the Bank of China (Hong Kong), with the support of the Chinese Society of Astronautics and the Hong Kong Society of Astronautics.
Two more online lectures will be held in mid-January 2025. Dr ZHAO Qi, RCDSE Management Committee Member and Assistant Professor of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Mr Eno LAM, Engineer of RCDSE and Space Systems Engineer of the Industrial Centre, will speak on “Lunar Base Construction” and “Our Nation’s Space Aspirations, Impacts, and Local Involvements” respectively, introducing students with deeper knowledge of aerospace.
