    Abstract

    A comprehensive overview for the latest progress of international deep space exploration mission design is presented,covering the fields of lunar exploration,major planetary exploration,and small celestial body exploration.In terms of lunar exploration,the strategic layouts of the Earth-Moon space,e.g.,the Artemis program in the United States and China's lunar exploration program,are demonstrated.In terms of major planetary exploration,the history and current status of the exploration missions for the Mercury,the Venus,the Mars,the Jupiter,the Saturn,and other outer planets,are reviewed.In terms of small celestial body exploration,the technical challenges and scientific significance are discussed,and the missions,such as flybys,orbits,sampling,and impacts,are expatiated.Based on these discussions,the enlightenment and development trends of deep space exploration missions are summarized,and relevant mission suggestions and concepts are put forward in combination with China's deep space exploration capability and the development of international planetary science,which could offer references for the design of future deep space exploration missions in China.
