China has plans to land on the Moon in 2030, which would mark a milestone in the history of space travel through its China National Space Agency (CNSA).
The astronauts of the Asian country already have the new suit, in red and white, that will allow them to carry out this great feat. It was designed, according to CNSA reports, “to withstand the Moon’s extreme temperatures, as well as radiation and dust, while allowing astronauts physical flexibility to perform tasks on the lunar surface, according to state media.” In terms of technology, the new suit is equipped with a short- and long-range camera, an operations console and an anti-glare helmet.
China has made significant efforts to modernize the suits its astronauts will wear, in addition to advances in planning the trip to the Moon in 2030. In this regard, the CNSA’s work in recent years stands out through “a series of increasingly complex robotic lunar missions, including the first in history to bring lunar samples from the far side of the Moon earlier this year.”
The country’s ambition is to become the second to send astronauts to the Moon. It is worth recalling that earlier this year, Chinese officials announced the name of the spacecraft for the lunar mission, “Mengzhou, or Ship of Dreams, and the lander, Lanyue, or Embracing the Moon.” China’s ambitions include “establishing an international lunar research station at the Moon’s South Pole by 2040.”
