China aims to have astronauts on moon by 2030

[ad_1] The space race to Moon has been getting intense. NASA has already planned a crewed mission to Moon, Artemis 3, for 2023. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) also has its Chandrayaan-3 mission planned for July 12. And now, China has announced its ambitious plans of sending astronauts to the Moon before 2030 and expand the country's orbiting space station as well.“We have a complete near-Earth human space station and human round-trip transportation system," complemented by a process for selecting, training and supporting new astronauts. A schedule of two crewed missions a year is "sufficient for carrying out our objectives,” Deputy Director of the Chinese Manned Space Agency Lin Xiqiang told reporters at the rare briefing by the military-run program. China gears up to sen...

5 Big Moon missions that are set to take off in 2023; NASA to ISRO, space race is on!

[ad_1] From NASA to ISRO, these are the 5 big Moon missions you can look forward to in 2023. From observing the farthest galaxy from Earth (GN-z11) to shifting the orbit of an asteroid by striking it with a spacecraft, scientists reached many new milestones in 2022. But it appears that the Moon will be the center of all attention in 2023. Many space agencies are looking at our sole natural satellite as a destination to visit and explore. While the Moon race between the USA and Russia ended decades ago, we still remember when Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin landed on the lunar surface. Now, a new space race is building up. And from NASA to Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) are all participating. Read on to know about the 5 big Moon missions setting up in 2023.NASA Lunar Flashli...
