China's Ambitious Moon Mission: Egg-Shaped Habitats by 2030

China plans to land astronauts on the moon by 2030, as detailed in a video released by the China Manned Space Agency. The mission will involve two launches of the Long March 10 rocket, sending a crewed spacecraft and a lunar landing stack into orbit, where they will dock before astronauts descend to the lunar surface. The video showcases tests on lunar hardware, including a rover and extravehicular suits, and highlights the expansion of the Wenchang Satellite Launch Center to accommodate the mission.

China's Advanced Moon Mission: A Double-Docking Manned Landing by 2027

China is progressing in the development of a new rocket, the Long March 10, which is intended to launch astronauts to the moon as part of their plan to put boots on the lunar surface before 2030. The rocket is expected to have a test flight in 2027 and will consist of three first stage cores. It will be capable of launching a payload of 59,500 pounds into lunar transfer orbit. China's first astronaut, Yang Liwei, revealed that the new crew spacecraft will be ready by 2027. China's main space contractor, CASC, recently completed a new test stand for firing engines needed for its moon rockets.

China's Innovative Strategy for Manned Moonshot in 2030

China has revised its plan for a manned moon landing in 2030, opting to use two Long March 10 carrier rockets instead of the previously planned super-heavy Long March 9. The new plan involves launching a moon surface lander and manned spacecraft separately, which will then dock with each other during moon orbit to complete the landing. The Long March 9 rocket's launch has been pushed back to 2035 as Chinese scientists focus on developing methane-powered engines. Chinese researchers are currently working on the Long March 10, a new generation of manned spacecraft, lunar lander, lunar landing spacesuit, and manned lunar rover.

China aims for crewed lunar landing and space station expansion by 2030.

China's human spaceflight agency aims to land astronauts on the moon before 2030, with plans for a new generation manned carrier rocket, crew spacecraft, lunar lander, moon suit, and other spaceflight products. The country is also developing a lunar crew rover and expanding its Wenchang spaceport. The short-term stay on the moon is linked to a longer-term project, the International Lunar Research Station, which aims to construct a permanent, initially robotic moon base in the 2030s.
