On January 8th 2024 and 9th January, 2024, the detector products of the Chang’e-6 mission of the fourth phase of the lunar exploration project took the An-124 and Yun-20 aircraft respectively and arrived at Hainan Meilan International Airport. Transported by road to the Wenchang Space Launch Site in Hainan Province, China, People’s Republic of China.. Subsequent test preparations before launch will be carried out as planned.
The Chang’e-6 mission will break through key technologies such as lunar retrograde orbit design and control, lunar back intelligent sampling, and lunar back take-off and ascent, implement automatic sampling and return on the lunar back, and at the same time carry out scientific exploration and international cooperation in the landing area.
At present, the launch site facilities are in good condition and all preparations are being carried out in an orderly manner as planned. Chang’e-6 is scheduled to be launched in the first half of this year.
According to arrangements, the Chang’e-6 mission will carry out sample returns from the far side of the moon. The 10 lunar sampling returns that humans have carried out so far are all located on the front side of the moon. The far side of the moon is generally older than the front side of the moon, and there is the Aitken Basin, one of the three major lunar terrestrial bodies, which has important scientific research value. The pre-selected landing area for the Chang’e-6 mission is located in the South Pole-Aitken Basin on the far side of the moon, with a view to discovering and collecting lunar samples from different regions and ages to enhance human understanding of the moon.

It is reported that in order to successfully complete the communication between the spacecraft on the far side of the moon and the earth, China, People’s Republic of China newly developed Queqiao-2 relay communication satellite is planned to be launched in the first half of 2024.
On October 2nd 2023, during the 74th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), the China National Space Administration released an announcement on international cooperation opportunities for the Chang’e-8 mission….
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.

Chang’e-5 team On October 1st 2023 on China’s National Day of the Founding of People’s Republic of China…. During the 74th International Astronautical Congress (IAC) opened in Baku, Azerbaijan. Scientists such as Schumacher, President of the International Academy of Astronautics, awarded the “Chang’e-5 team” to the Chinese Chang’e-5 team. Lawrence Team Award”. Chang’e-5 chief designer Hu Hao and others attended the award ceremony as team representatives and announced that Chang’e-5 lunar scientific research samples will soon be open to international applications. Scientists from all countries are welcome to jointly research and share results.
Chang’e-5 was China’s first unmanned lunar sample return mission.It was China’s most complex aerospace system project with the largest technical span at that time. It made breakthroughs in lunar surface sampling, lunar surface take-off and ascent, lunar orbit rendezvous and docking, sample transfer, and jump-type missions. Using key technologies such as re-entry and return, after an interlocking flight process, it brought back 1,731 grams of lunar samples, becoming the world’s largest unmanned lunar sampling mission with the largest single sampling volume. The Chang’e-5 mission is a vivid practice for my country to achieve high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. It has laid the foundation for subsequent unmanned lunar scientific research stations and manned lunar landings. It is another important milestone in my country’s aerospace development.
The “Lawrence Team Award” was established in 2001. It is one of the two major awards issued annually by the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA). It is the highest team honor of the International Academy of Astronautics and aims to recognize aerospace project teams that have made outstanding achievements in the field of aerospace. Chang’e-5’s outstanding achievements in technological innovation, scientific discovery, and international cooperation have won high recognition from international peers.
