Details of China's road map for landing man on the moon before 2030 have been revealed. According to the plan announced by the Chinese space authorities at a meeting in Beijing, the country will begin the orbital tests of the Mengzhou spacecraft from the beginning of 2027, and will continue to perform the connection operation in the lunar orbit by sending the Lanyue lunar lander and the crew separately through two launchers. The ultimate goal is to land on the moon "before 2030". This decision shows China's high progress in the space competition; While NASA is aiming for 2028, challenges related to the development of landers may delay the US plan and give China an opportunity to overtake.
