China says its lunar lander passed landing and take-off test
Briefly

China's first crewed lunar lander, Lanyue, successfully completed important verification tests for landing and takeoff processes. These tests confirmed compatibility between various systems vital for lunar missions. The successful completion of these tests represents a significant advancement for China's manned lunar exploration program. China's space ambitions include landing astronauts on the Moon by 2030 and establishing an International Lunar Research Station by 2035. Future missions, specifically Chang'e 7 and Chang'e 8, are planned for scientific exploration and resource utilization on the Moon.
The successful completion of the test marks a new and important breakthrough in the development of my country's manned lunar exploration program.
China's space strategy calls for 'manned lunar exploration' before 2027, and landing Taikonauts on Earth's natural satellite in 2030.
The landing and takeoff integrated verification test systematically verified the compatibility of the lunar landing and takeoff system scheme, control scheme, lunar touchdown and shutdown scheme, and the interface compatibility between the GNC system and propulsion subsystems.
By 2035, China hopes to develop an International Lunar Research Station with help from Russia.
