China is set to launch a new crewed mission into space this week as part of its long-term goal to land astronauts on the Moon by 2030 and establish a lunar base.

The Shenzhou-20 mission will transport three astronauts to the Tiangong space station for a six-month stay. The launch is scheduled to take place from the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwestern China, with preparations underway at the remote desert site.

The China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) confirmed that both the Shenzhou spacecraft and its Long March-2F carrier rocket have been moved to the launch site. Officials assured that systems at the site are functioning properly, and tests are progressing as planned.

State media released images of the rocket, standing tall on its launch pad, adorned with national flags and banners celebrating China’s growing space program.

The identities of the Shenzhou-20 astronauts and their specific mission tasks have not been disclosed yet. However, Zhou Wenxing from China’s astronaut training center confirmed that the crew is in good health and ready for the mission, according to a CCTV report.

This mission follows the Shenzhou-19 mission, launched last October, which is expected to end on April 29. The crew of Shenzhou-19 includes commander Cai Xuzhe, 48, a former air force pilot and veteran of the Shenzhou-14 mission, Wang Haoze, 35, China’s only female spaceflight engineer, and Song Lingdong, 34.

During their stay aboard Tiangong, the current team has been conducting tests to understand how space conditions affect lunar soil simulants, which will assist in China’s future lunar exploration efforts.

Under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, China has significantly expanded its space program, becoming the third nation to send humans into orbit and achieving key milestones, such as landing robotic missions on Mars and the Moon.

The Tiangong space station, with its core module Tianhe launched in 2021, is expected to operate for about a decade and plays a key role in China’s roadmap to the Moon.

China’s lunar program is on track for a crewed Moon landing by 2030, marking a significant leap in its ambition to match the space capabilities of the United States and Europe.
