The Geospatial Double Star Exploration Program (the "Double Star Program" for short, DSP) is China's first space science satellite program, and also the first space science satellite program of in-depth international cooperation mainly carried out by China. It is a model of successful cooperation between China and Europe. This paper reviews the research and development task management of the DSP, the international cooperation situation of the DSP, and the international cooperation management practice of the DSP. According to the DSP, a strict engineering organization and management system is established, to promote the implementation of tasks through the monthly engineering scheduling regular meeting, the special coordination meeting and the general manager's experience, as well as the management/technical coordination meeting mechanism and liaison mechanism; through the mechanism of the Scientific Steering Committee, the scientific working team and the scientific work joint meeting, with the maximum output of achievements. Among them, the experiences of the principal investigator mechanism, the data sharing mechanism, the documentation specification, the epidemic response measures and other experiences provide an important reference for the future international cooperation in space science.
