"China's Ambitious 2024 Space Agenda: 100 Launches and Moon Mission"
China plans to debut new Long March rockets in 2024, including the Long March 6C, Long March 12, and a modified version of the Long March 8, to enhance its options for space launches. These rockets will offer increased capacity for high-frequency launch missions and the ability to carry larger payloads to low Earth orbit or sun-synchronous orbit. Additionally, China is developing super heavy-lift rockets for large space infrastructure and crewed moon missions, with a goal of launching around 100 missions this year, including an ambitious lunar far side sample return mission.
