ChinaChina’s Lunar Exploration Program Makes Solid Progress on the Crewed-Landing Phase
CCTV.com News (Xinwen Lianbo): At the Seventh Academic Conference on Manned Spaceflight today (October 31), it was learned that research, development and construction work for all tasks in the crewed-landing phase of China’s lunar exploration program is progressing steadily. Uncrewed flight missions of the Mengzhou crewed spacecraft and the Lanyue lander are planned before the crewed lunar-landing mission.
央视网消息（新闻联播）：记者今天（10月31日）在第七届载人航天学术大会上获悉，我国月球探测工程登月阶段任务各项研制建设工作正在扎实推进，拟于载人登月任务前安排梦舟载人飞船和揽月着陆器无人飞行任务。
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.
按照此前公布的方案，两枚长征十号运载火箭将先后发射揽月着陆器和梦舟飞船，在环月轨道交会对接。梦舟飞船可搭载3名航天员往返地面与环月轨道，其中2名航天员乘坐揽月着陆器往返环月轨道和月球表面。瞄准中国人登陆月球的既定目标，后续，工程还将按计划组织完成长征十号运载火箭技术验证飞行、梦舟载人飞船和揽月着陆器首次飞行、嫦娥七号等重要任务。
