Chinese Academy of Space Technology (CAST) technical advisor Ye Peijian said China is capable of landing taikonauts on the lunar surface before 2030 , reports Interfax.
“ Personally, I think that if technological developments aimed at conducting manned missions to land on the moon continue, as long as the country sets a goal, the Chinese taikonauts landing on the moon is quite possible before 2030, & # 39; & # 39; & mdash; he said.
Recall that previously, China planned to send taikonauts to the Moon and build a research base on it & nbsp; in the 2030s.
Earlier it was reported that & nbsp; Roscosmos; announced & nbsp; on the start of preparation for astronaut flights to the moon. & nbsp; The state-owned company will issue a tender for the development of documentation with the necessary requirements for space technology. The first manned flights to the Moon will be carried out on the Angara rocket. The aim of the research is to study the activities of astronauts in the circumlunar orbit and the surface of the Earth's satellite. & Nbsp;
