China's Ambitious Plans: Moon Astronauts to Launch in New Spacecraft by 2027

China is planning to launch a next-generation crewed spacecraft between 2027 and 2028, capable of carrying astronauts to the moon and beyond. The spacecraft will be partially reusable and will be launched using the newly developed Long March 10 rocket. The deep-space version will carry three astronauts to lunar transfer orbit, while a low Earth orbit variant will transport four to seven astronauts to China's Tiangong space station. This is part of China's goal to put astronauts on the moon by 2030.
