中国人民解放军战略支援部队航天工程大学是新一轮军队院校调整改革后，全军“双重”（重点院校、重点学科专业）院校、全军首批国防科技创新特区工作站设站单位、国家国防科技工业局共建大学。学校发源于“两弹一星”事业，前身为1978年成立的国防科工委干部学校，2017年7月经中央军委批准，以原装备学院为基础重建。

The Chinese People's Liberation Army Strategic Support Force Aerospace Engineering University is a "dual" (key institution and key discipline) university of the whole army after the new round of military academy adjustment and reform, one of the first national defense science and technology innovation zone workstation units of the whole army, and a university jointly built by the State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. Originating from the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" cause, the university was formerly known as the Cadre School of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense established in 1978. In July 2017, with the approval of the Central Military Commission, it was reorganized on the basis of the former Equipment Academy.

学校主要面向全国全军培养航天领域指挥军官、技术军官、军士、文职人员和军民融合人才，承担航天领域关键技术研究、军民融合和国际合作等任务。作为全军唯一系统培养航天人才的高等教育院校，拥有军事学、工学、理学、管理学等门类齐全的综合性航天学科专业体系，是军队“2110工程”建设院校，拥有北京怀柔、昌平、沙河三个校区。

The university mainly cultivates command officers, technical officers, non-commissioned officers, civilian personnel and military-civilian integration talents in the aerospace field for the whole country and the whole army, and undertakes tasks such as key technology research, military-civilian integration and international cooperation in the aerospace field. As the only higher education institution of the whole army that systematically cultivates aerospace talents, it has a comprehensive aerospace discipline system covering military science, engineering, science, management and other disciplines. It is a "2110 Project" construction institution of the army and has three campuses in Huairou, Changping and Shahe of Beijing.

学校师资力量雄厚，沈荣骏、庄逢辰等16名院士专家设立工作室，教员朱杨柱成为我国首位执行载人航天飞行任务的航天飞行工程师。拥有先进的教学科研实验条件，构建了宇航科学、军队指挥、航天信息“铁三角”学科群，是新型航天人才培养的重要基地、航天科技创新的前沿高地和太空安全领域的高端智库。

The university has a strong faculty, with 16 academicians and experts including Shen Rongjun and Zhuang Fengchen setting up studios, and teacher Zhu Yangzhu becoming China's first astronautical flight engineer to perform manned spaceflight missions. It has advanced teaching and research experimental conditions, and has built an "iron triangle" discipline group of astronautical science, military command and aerospace information. It is an important base for cultivating new aerospace talents, a frontier highland for aerospace science and technology innovation, and a high-end think tank in the field of space security.
