China itself prevailed only with the first crew of the space mission back in 2003, but its growing space sector was gaining pace, and by the end of the decade, the ambitions would put boots for a month. Beijing has achieved significant achievements only this month, with the Chinese Space Agency announcement He successfully conducted a girl’s take -off and descent test on his Lanyue Lunar Lander in the province of Hebei, on the trial surface Designed for imitation Gravity of the moon and terrain conditions.

Literally last week in China 176-Futa-10 March 10 cleared your first static test Shooting its seven parallel engines Yf-100K at the Wencng facility in Hainan. His rocket sister of the same series, two -stage partly multiple long, remains in development with his debut flight in 2026 and plans to serve in the crew and freight transport at the Chinese space station Tiangun.

It was a tense summer: in June, the Menzhou spacecraft in China – the key to its lunar ambitions – passed the escape test. Last month, the launch of the ninth cargo ship Tianzhou, Tianzhou-9, to the Tiangong Space Station.

On the way, Beijing repeated his plans to land with astronauts for a month until 2030 for research-exclaiming Apollo Program.

But the question notes that it is delayed over both NASA samples for lunar Landers. The SPACEX senior this year had a stormy record that it could still confirm in the future test on August 24. The blue origin, meanwhile, is still developing Lander Mark 2 and only intends to experience the launch of its predecessor – Mark 1 – later this year. Jeff Bezosa’s rocket, which will transfer Landers, goes only the second flight next month.

The US in promoting its space activity is noticeable but not single. While most of the Chinese space landscape is dominated by the State Aerospace and Technology Corporation, such as commercial players as Galactic Energy, LandSpace and I-Space are not confused with the Japan’s Isspace-also approach the plate.

“I believe that China can defeat NASA back to the moon,” said Professor Quentin Parker, director of space research laboratory at Hong Kong University by email.

“The ARTEMIS NASA project faces large -scale delays, problems with the budget and problems in accordance with the current administration in the US. This leaves an open opportunity that China can first return people to the moon,” he added, noting that in China, rapid development of space technologies and “demonstrated the mission over the last decade, Missions ”.

As in the first space race, not only national prestige – US officials and analysts have expressed concern that China’s space ambitions are inevitably related to militarization. It wasn’t too long ago Spring comments General Chants Saltzman, Head of Space Operations in the US Space Forces, that the “Chinese People’s Republic) develops what we have, the tongue in the cheek, called” the murdered web. “
