China has publicly stated a plan to land astronauts on the Moon within the next three years. The disclosure marks a formal timeline for the country's crewed lunar ambitions, which have been in development for several years.
At the Seventh Manned Spaceflight Conference in Beijing, officials including chief lunar designer Wang Xiang outlined a staged sequence of missions using the Long March 10 rocket, Mengzhou crew capsule and Lanyue lander. The plan runs from an uncrewed Long March 10A/Mengzhou test in early 2027 through lunar-orbit docking tests in 2029, culminating in a crewed landing attempt before 2030.
