China has released its plans for space exploration over the next five years, detailing ambitious goals that include strengthening its space infrastructure and developing a next-generation spacecraft for carrying people to space. The country is also researching how it could possibly land people on the Moon in the coming years.<\/p>\n

The roadmap, detailed in a new white paper released today<\/a>, would continue China\u2019s ambitious progress in the realm of aerospace. Over the last few decades, the country has placed significant emphasis on expanding its space capabilities, increasing the frequency and scope of its launches, and pushing into new areas such as the robotic exploration of Mars<\/a>. China has also mounted a long-term campaign of lunar exploration that entails sending a series of landers and rovers to the lunar surface every few years. In 2019, the country became the first to land a rover on the far side of the Moon<\/a>, and in 2020, China brought samples of the Moon back to Earth<\/a>.<\/p>\n
