China unveiled the main provisions of its lunar exploration program at the 7th Manned Space Conference. In the first phase, it is planned to land two taikonauts for three days using two Long March-10 launch vehicles, the Mengju launch vehicle and the Lanyue launch vehicle. The reliability of the samples will be confirmed by providing the track station and control unmanned flight in accordance with the full mission plan. Additional work is based on the "Landing - Reconnaissance - Development" plan. To estimate reserves of helium-3, ice and rare metals, the systems will be guaranteed to be autonomous during a 14-day night and make marches of up to 1000 km. The basis of the group will be the Lanyue family of spacecraft (delivery of up to 15 tons from a Long March-9 launch). After the tour, the mobile labs will concentrate in a given area and dock with a nuclear power module to deploy a base.
