China successfully tests first manned lunar lander

The device consists of a lander and a booster, capable of carrying two astronauts from lunar orbit to the lunar surface and back, carrying both the rover and scientific equipment.

On August 7, China announced that it had successfully completed the combined take-off and landing test of its manned lunar lander at the Extraterrestrial Object Landing Test Site in Huailai County, Hebei Province, northern China.

According to the China Manned Space Program Office (CMSA), this is the first time the country has conducted ground tests on the landing and take-off capabilities of a manned spacecraft in a simulated extraterrestrial celestial body environment.

The Moon Lander was designed by China specifically for the mission of sending people to the Moon. The device consists of two main parts: the landing module and the booster module, capable of carrying two astronauts from the orbit around the Moon to the surface of "Sister Hang" and then back, carrying both the rover and scientific equipment.

After landing on the Moon, the device will act as a living center, providing power and data storage for astronauts during their work and stay on the Moon.

The testing process is highly complex and lasts for many days with strict technical requirements. The success of the test is considered an important step forward in the research and development of the mission to send Chinese people to the Moon before 2030 for exploration purposes./.
