China has decided to conduct a lunar mission "Chang'e-6" in 2024. This will be the second Chinese return mission to a satellite of our planet.

While the whole world is discussing the success of Chang'e-5, the Chinese themselves are preparing a new expedition to the Earth's satellite. According [...] to TASS, with reference to the Beijing Daily newspaper, they want to launch in 2024. In parallel, China is already preparing future projects - "Chang'e-7" and "Chang'e-8".

To launch the station, the Changzheng-5 launch vehicle is used. According to the plan, the unmanned spacecraft "Chang'e-6" should land on the surface of the satellite, take lunar samples and send them home.

Recall, "Chang'e-5" made a historic landing on the moon in December last year. The spacecraft successfully collected lunar samples and delivered them to Earth for study. This mission was not only a demonstration of China's scientific potential, but also an element of preparation for a manned flight to the satellite.

In the long term, the PRC, together with Russia, can create a long-term lunar base: in any case, the Chinese themselves have recently expressed their readiness to implement their plans.

And in the near future, Beijing plans to launch the first module of the new national space station.
