Tang Jingshi obtained his bachelor’s degree in June 2005 and doctorate (supervisor: Professor Liu Lin) in September 2009from the Department of Astronomy at Nanjing University. From March 2008 to January 2009, he went to the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences at Newcastle University as an exchange student. Since October 2009, he has joined the faculty of the School of Astronomy and Space Science (formerly known as the Department of Astronomy) at Nanjing University. As a visiting  scholar at the Key Laboratory of Flight Mechanics at Beijing Aerospace Flight Control Center, he participated in the rendezvous and docking missions of TG-1 and SZ-8, and SZ-9 and SZ-10 in the front-line TT & C units from October 2011 to June 2013 and carried out relevant research using the data thus obtained. He led a project funded by the Young Scientists Fund of the National Natural Science Foundation and a project of the 863-xxx Program. He is also responsible for related projects of China Academy of Space Technology (CAST) and Institute for General Assembly and Communication. In addition, he has participated in more than 10 projects led by Professor Liu Lin and entrusted by aerospace units, military units and other research institutions. His research results have been applied to the practical work of relevant departments, and part of his theoretical work has been published in the form of papers. He was awarded the second prize (second on awardees’ list) of the 2009 University Science and Technology Award for Technological Progress (“satellite orbit theory and its application”).
