On November 30, 2021, the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) Academy Day was successfully held in Beijing in hybrid form. More than one hundred academicians and experts from government ministries, academies, science associations, universities, space organizations, institutions, commercial companies such as Ministry of Emergency Management, National Satellite Ocean Application Service, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China Aerospace Science And Technology Corporation (CASC), China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT), Chinese Society of Astronautics (CSA), Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology (SAST), HIWING Technology Academy, Peking University, Beihang University, Beijing Institute of Technology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology have attended the event. Former IAA Vice President Liu Jiyuan, Chair of IAA Engineering Sciences Section Bao Weimin, Director of China Center for Aerospace Science and Technology International Communication Yu Miao and six newly-elected Academicians attended the event onsite.

The Academy Day was hosted by Wang Yiran, the head of the IAA Studies Center and the Vice President of the Chinese Society of Astronautics (CSA). Mr. Wang firstly introduced the work of the IAA Studies Center in promoting academician exchanges and serving IAA academicians in 2021.

Former IAA President Dr. Peter Jankowitsch, Prof. Liu Jiyuan and Prof. Bao Weimin delivered welcome speeches for the event. Dr. Jankowitsch congratulated the convening of this Academy Day and called for more academicians to propose and participate in the scientific activities of IAA to jointly promote the progress of space technology. He hoped that new ceremonies would be held in the near future. Prof. Liu Jiyuan pointed out that the IAA study groups are based on the frontier subjects which opens up a channel for international cooperation in the field of astronautics. Prof. Bao Weimin hopes that more Chinese academicians can participate in IAA activities, strengthen the development of IAA, promote the application of space technology, and foster international cooperation in space and related fields.

Academician Rong Yi, Chief Engineer of China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology (CALT), delivered a report on the transportation system of human Mars exploration missions. Academician Lin Mingsen, Director of National Satellite Ocean Application Service, delivered a report on the development and application of Chinese ocean satellites. Academician Cui Pingyuan, Professor of Beijing Institute of Technology, delivered a report on strategy of collision protection from asteroid and comet. Professor Zhang Jingfa, Researcher of National Institute of Natural Hazards, delivered a virtual report on space information application in earthquake emergency response.

Prof. Liu Jiyuan and Prof. Bao Weimin jointly awarded certificates to the newly-elected IAA Academicians of 2020 and 2021:
Chen Xiaoqian, M2, 2020, Wang Qiao, M4, 2020,Cui Pingyuan, CM2, 2020, Rong Yi, CM2, 2020, Lin Mingsen, CM4, 2021, Shi Xinxing, CM4, 2021

The IAA Studies Center is one of the three major branches of IAA. Since its establishment in 2010, the Studies Center has been supporting the scientific and publication work of IAA and serving the Chinese members to fulfill their obligations. The IAA Academy Day held by the Studies Center has become the most important communication platform for all IAA Chinese academicians every year.

An Academy Day in Europe is planned in 2022. Detailed information will be announced later.
