China reveals details of manned lunar landing plan

Wang Xiang, chief designer of China's Moon exploration program, announced on 3 November the official crewed mission plan: two Long March 10 rocket launches will place the Lanyue lander and Mengzhou spacecraft into lunar orbit. Two of three taikonauts will transfer to the lander and descend to the lunar surface. China is on track to complete the mission before 2030 — it has successfully tested the lander and the Mengzhou emergency system so far.
