China Unveils Ambitious Plan for Lunar Space Station and Planetary Exploration

China aims to lead global space exploration with a comprehensive program targeting lunar missions, habitable planets, and cosmic phenomena by 2050.

China's space agencies have announced a detailed plan extending from 2024 to 2050, focusing on building a lunar space station and exploring habitable planets.
The lunar space station is set to be constructed in phases, with completion expected between 2028 and 2035, serving as a base for future space missions.
The plan includes investigating the habitability of celestial bodies and searching for extraterrestrial life within and beyond our solar system.
China's space program will also study cosmic phenomena, including the origins of the universe, gravitational waves, and the Sun-Earth system.
China has already achieved significant milestones, such as operating the Tiangong space station and conducting successful lunar exploration missions.
