Moon 月球

Two Long March 10 rockets will launch the Lanyue lander and the Mengzhou spacecraft in succession, and the lander and spacecraft will rendezvous and dock in lunar orbit.

According to the plan announced earlier, two Long March 10 carrier rockets will launch the Lanyue lander and Mengzhou spacecraft in succession, and they will rendezvous and dock in lunar orbit. The Mengzhou spacecraft can carry three astronauts between Earth and lunar orbit, while two astronauts will ride the Lanyue lander between lunar orbit and the lunar surface. With the established goal of Chinese people landing on the Moon in view, the program will subsequently organize, as planned, the Long March 10 carrier rocket technology-verification flight, the first flights of the Mengzhou crewed spacecraft and Lanyue lander, and important missions including Chang’e 7.
