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…

More than One year ago on 24th November 2020, the Chang Zheng – Long March Five Carrier Rocket Launched away  in CNSA – China National Space Administration China Wenchang spaceport launch, Change Five  Lunar probe into orbit, opened up towards China – People’s Republic of China’s first celestial bodies sample return trip from Mons Rumker on the Lunar Surface of the moon New research achievements – Chinese scientists reveal the composition of lunar soil minerals and space wind at the landing site of Chang’e 5

The fourth phase of the lunar exploration project has been approved, and the basic production of Chang’e-6 products has been completed…… The CNSA- China National Space Administration announced yesterday that China- People’s Republic of China’s lunar exploration project has made new progress. The fourth phase of the lunar exploration project has been approved by the state and is progressing smoothly. According to sources, the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project includes the Chang’e 6, Chang’e 7 and Chang’e 8 missions, which will be implemented successively in the next ten years. Among them, Chang’e 6 is the backup of Chang’e 5, which has the function of sampling and returning, and will go to the far side of the moon to perform missions. The production of Chang’e 6 has basically been completed. Combined with the first visit of Chang’e 4 to the back of the moon, after the demonstration of engineers and scientists in the early stage, the back of the moon is also taken into consideration. ….

On the week of 13th March 2022 in  CNSA _China National Space Administration -China – People’s Republic of China……..During the Two Sessions of which was held during in the People’s Hall during the week of 13th March 2022 China – People’s Republic of China CNSA China National Space Administration  and its Partners plans to realize the Mars sampling return mission by 2030] China Daily reported on March 6 that Wu Weiren, member of the Standing Committee of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and chief designer of China’s lunar exploration project, said recently that my country plans to realize the Mars sampling return mission by 2030. The difficulty of the project is much greater than that of lunar sampling and return. The first problem to be solved is to develop a launch vehicle with greater thrust. In the follow-up, China is also preparing to conduct marginal exploration of the solar system. “The sun is about 150 million kilometers from the earth, which is an astronomical unit. We plan to achieve the ‘double hundred’ goal in 2049, that is, on the 100th anniversary of the founding of New China, to complete 100 astronomical units, which is 15 billion kilometers away “Deep space exploration” China plans to realize the Mars sampling return mission by 2030

China will carry on its moon research in the future with Chang’e-6, Chang’e-7 and Chang’e-8 missions by 2030. After 2030, a new set of missions will be carried out to complete the construction of an international lunar research station by 2030….he Chang’e-6 is scheduled to bring back to Earth lunar samples with a mass of up to 2 kilograms; the Chang’e-7 will be tasked with landing on the lunar south pole and detecting local natural resources; and the Chang’e-8, working in collaboration with Chang’e-7, is going to scout how to exploit lunar resources.

According to Wu, the Chang’e-6 and Chang’e-7 are expected to be launched around 2025.

Future missions also include the development of a special craft, which can fly from the landing site to lunar craters to help scientists look for traces of water. If water is present, it could provide resources for future crewed missions on the moon, Wu noted.

After 2030, a new set of missions will be carried out to complete the construction of an international lunar research station by 2035….

“There will be multiple rovers and landers working in the future moon station and a lunar-based communication network to support these spacecraft,” Wu said. “The lunar research station can also function as a transfer outpost for the solar system and even deeper space explorations.”
