According to the corporation, "Rocket 921" - asChinese experts believe that we are talking about the Long March CZ-5G - it will be able to deliver a payload of 70 tons to lower Earth orbit and up to 25 tons to the Moon. The development utilizes the advanced technologies used to build the advanced Long March CZ heavy-lift low-Earth orbit rocket, including its engines.
The CASC noted that the manned mission is notChina's only lunar project. The plans include new flights of the Chang'e mission, an automatic interplanetary station that travels to the Earth's satellite. The corporation hopes to use the stations in 2026 to deliver regolith samples from the far side of the Moon, and in 2028 to begin construction of a research lunar station near the south pole of the natural satellite.
