On the Sunset of 14th February  Hour Hong- Kong SAR – Beijing time CNSA –China National Space Administration   the combination of the Chang Zheng -Long March 8 Yao 3 carrier rocket has been shipped towards Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Center, Hainan Province, China, People’s Republic of China. in the during the National Holidays of celebrating the Year of the Dragon of the Chinese Lunar New Year, Spring Festival..

The working logistics of the Chang Zheng – Long March 8 Yao 3 was transported at an over speed in which making its way before schedule. The Chang Zheng -Long March 8 Yao 3 carrier rocket is executing a major national special project – the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project, the Chang’e-7 relay star mission. Can the relay star (Queqiao-2 satellite) go smoothly? The launch will directly affect the progress of the overall plan for the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project, which is of great significance and cannot be missed.

The loading work of the Chang Zheng -Long March 8 Yao 3 carrier rocket was completed at an This mission is the first time that the Chang Zheng -Long March 8 Yao 3 carrier uses the China Satellite Maritime Measurement and Control Department’s Yuanwang series transport measurement and control vessels and the first time to perform an Earth-moon transfer orbit mission. The launch window is tight. To ensure the successful completion of the mission, every minute and every second cannot be spared…

Chang Zheng -Long March 8 Yao 3 carrier rocket has been shipped and is about to arrive….According to the China Academy of Launch Vehicle Technology, the Long March-8 Yao-3 rocket that will be used to launch the Queqiao-2 relay star has been shipped today…..Which will be subsequently shipped to Wenchang Qinglan Port by sea.

On February 2nd 2024, the lunar exploration project phase 4 relay satellite (Queqiao-2 satellite) arrived at Hainan Meilan International Airport by air, and then passed the road Transport method to Wenchang Space Launch Site in China. Subsequent test preparations before launch will be carried out as planned. The relay satellite will establish a ground relay communication link to realize communication between the lunar surface detector and the ground station, and provide relay support for the four missions of Chang’e 4, Chang’e 6, Chang’e 7 and Chang’e 8. . At present, the launch site facilities are in good condition and all preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner as planned. The Queqiao-2 satellite is scheduled to be launched in the first half of this year…

As an important task of the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project, Chang’e 8 is planned to be launched around 2028. It will carry out lunar multi-physical field and regional geological profile detection and research, lunar-based earth observation and research, and lunar in-situ sample analysis and resources. In-situ utilization and experiments and research on small closed terrestrial ecosystems in the lunar surface environment will form a basic type of lunar scientific research station together with Chang’e-7 and others.

Chang’e 8 Lunar Mission brief .. Main goal is to build a basic model of the lunar research station with Chang’e 7 Lunar Mission.. in which Modules consist of  A lander, a Rover, and Operational Robot.. the Launch schedule within the Launch calendar of 2028 of using the International Icon the Chang Zheng- Long March 5 Carrier Rocket variant launching from Wenchang Space Launch Center, Wenchang, Hainan Province, China, People’s Republic of China….

China’s lunar exploration project adheres to the principles of “equality, mutual benefit, peaceful utilization, and win-win cooperation” and opens up opportunities for international cooperation on Chang’e-8 to the international community. Countries and international organizations are welcome to join and carry out mission-level, system-level, and stand-alone-level cooperation to jointly achieve More major original scientific discoveries will jointly promote the construction of a community with a shared future for mankind.

➥International cooperation on the Chang’e-8 mission will give priority to mission-level cooperation that can carry out inter-vehicle interaction and joint detection, lunar surface robots with basic lunar surface operating capabilities, as well as other complementary scientific payloads and scientifically innovative cooperation projects.

➥The Chang’e-8 lander is open to 200kg payload resources, and the independent module mass does not exceed 100kg, which is used to carry out system-level and stand-alone-level cooperation projects.

➥The deadline for submitting a letter of intent for the Chang’e-8 mission international cooperation project is December 31, 2023. It is planned to complete the preliminary selection in April 2024 and the final selection in September to confirm the cooperation project.
