  • As China ramps up its lunar exploration program in the coming decade, space-based lunar infrastructure is going to be a key enabler. Spacecraft and ground-based vehicles will increasingly need positioning and communication services, which is why China has launched a plan to establish a lunar satellite constellation called the "Queqiao constellation". The focus on the back side and the lunar south pole also means that communications will require relay satellites.
    In preparation for this lunar constellation, expected in the 2030s, China has been launching single Queqiao spacecraft: the "Queqiao" in 2018, "Queqiao-2" in March 2024, and "Queqiao-3" by the end of the decade.
    In this video, we cover this quest for lunar infrastructure, a low key but essential milestone for the establishment of China's future lunar outpost, the ILRS.

      Thank you, ALWH, for your insightful explanation and interpretation.
      "Magpie Bridge" is an suitable choice by CNSA for this "bridge" between Earth and Moon.
      For lunar spacecraft names, China chooses the title of a ancient, romantic folk tale while the West opts for a modern-day SciFi novel written by a Californian.

    The United States itself does not launch satellites for communication relay behind the moon, China does, so it requests China to provide this resource in the name of "for all mankind". When China hopes to obtain the space exploration resources of the United States, it enacts a bill to restrict it in the name of "national security." Even in order to obtain the resources they have with its Chinese counterparts, it can only apply for an exception because the United States has There really aren’t those resources. It even disliked China's unwillingness to actively cooperate with the United States and forgot about the existence of that bill.

    For International Day of Human Space Flight (April 12), China reiterated its plans of a crewed landing before 2030 and to establishment of an International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) by 2040. Currently 11 countries have signed on as partners for constructing ILRS. Looking forward to watching the spacecraft evolve to what will become 'Mengzhou,' (Dream Vessel) spacecraft and 'Lan Yue' lander.
    China's latest plans for Tianwen-3 suggest a sample and return from Mars with an approximate 2030 timeline, this just ahead of NASA delayed Mars sample return plans.
    So much happening in May and beyond over the next 5 years, with many nations (~40 globally) participating and contributing to lunar exploration and research. Exciting times!

These four inventions played a huge role in promoting the development of politics, economy, and culture in ancient China. They were also spread to the West through various channels and had a huge impact on the history of world civilization development.

    I think you talked about americans concepts as a way to "reassure" that china isn't alone in their moon endeavour, however timed plans with exact number of spacecraft that are already decided is much more of a plan than the western suggestions, and btw i don't think we'll have to wait all the way to the end of the 50', considering their plans for a space economy by the end of the next decade, to see thoses constellations despite how you keep this "pessimistic" behaviour every time you talk about something they do, i don't want to hear anything over optimistic sure, but your little repetitive comments here and there like "but this is not for sure" or whatever, are generally uncalled for.
    Your one of the only guys who keep some updates to what's happening there and you're only releasing a vid once a month if not a few months and sometimes it's a mere inteview, so your comments are really uncalled for, i have to search much more to learn what they're doing to the overshowed news of the west part, that are often completely irrelevant like Space X building a parking or whatever, is this necessary to have 50 differents medias that are talking about the same pointless topic every day? Like who care about what they're doing i just want to see how they're doing with their main projects and without bias please (yes i know this is impossible with this media empire we live in).
    On the chinese part, this week, i learned that CASC will launch by the end of this year the long march 12 which will be reusable, and that CASC is also building two others reusable rockets that will be there next year and in 2026 respectively, thoses are each 4m in diameter and 5m in diameter, meaning their going into a much heavier payload capacity sector than what they have now in only 2 years, also, and this is the most interesting news that litteraly no one mentioned, but it really do put a lot pressure on the u.s counterpart program so they still must be in total panic since 3 days, it goes as follow;
    "
    China's lunar landing mission is being carried out smoothly, as its component systems are under research and development as planned, announced a senior official with the China Manned Space Agency (CMSA) at a press conference on Wednesday.
    The project development of major flight products, such as the Long March-10 carrier rocket, the manned spacecraft Mengzhou, the lunar lander Lanyue and the lunar landing suit, has been completed, and their prototype production and tests are being carried out, said Lin Xiqiang, deputy director of the CMSA.
    The development of mechanical and thermal test products for manned spacecraft and lander has been completed, various rocket engines are under ground tests, and the Wenchang manned lunar exploration launch site is under construction, he noted.
    The proposals for manned lunar rover and lunar surface payloads solicited from the public are under selection, he added.
    "
    This is insane, that mean that they could be able to launch Long March 10 with a prototype lander and orbiter, to test the complete maneuver by the next year at most, we'll need to wait a few more weeks to see what the new calendars are, but that's not the first time that they advance scheduled missions, unlike americans who are delaying everything mostly because they're overselling hype to hold the focus of the attention and private investments, china doesn't have this problem, they give themselves way too much time to do something and in the end they have to advance an extremely safe schedule wich integrate all of their vast planifications, this is done because they don't want to have problems in their scheduled plans, if anything is late, everything has to de delayed also, that's why they make date that are "unrealistic" in a way that everything will be done before the scheduled date. So when they were saying lunar landing around 2030, well it might finally be in 2027 at most, give them the time to form their astronaut to this mission and they'll be there in no time, so we'll see them try in the next year or so all their new techs, and they will be able to gain the necessary experience to do everything they wanted at least 3 years ahead of the original schedule, which again, is just insane, this is massive yet even you didn't talked about that.

      Lining up on the horizon are the *_Chinese Space Telescope_* , and then, the *_expansion_* of the Chinese Space Station with at least 3 more modules.
      Following that, is a build up of a preliminary *_Lunar Space Station_* (the Chinese will build it and will share with everyone, except USA, Europe and Japan), first with 2 to 4 modules (which will be greatly expanded, and there might be, perhaps, more than one Lunar Space Station), and then, the *_Lunar Land Stations_* (plural, meaning, more than one location on the moon surface), which they will share with Russia.

      Like the CZ5 rocket that was used to send up Chang'e 6, it was test launched 2 times, both times with satellites
      On the 2nd trial, that rocket failed, so the Chinese went back to their drawing board and re-design that rocket, causing a 2 year delay on subsequent Chang'e launches (and also their Space Station)
      Now that the rocket has been proven reliable the Chinese are using it as the launch vehicle for many of their bigger space vehicles (even including the one to Mars)

    The 'Chinese' permanent lunar base is not 'in a planning stage' as the projects is in all, but name _the transnational execution of the Soviet LUNA program_ (active since 1959 by the Soviet Union and _continued_ by the Russian Federation as the 'Luna-Glob' program with various success, including a recent failed landing) - hence the close Sino-Russian collaboration in the middle of _a world war_ and explicit threat of sanctions by the US.
    The relevant question remains about *_the practical gain_* of a permanent, _unmanned_ base on the Far Side of the Moon, especially considering the Indian Chandrayaan programme - hinting that water molecules, observed from orbit are less accessible than imagined.
    Would satellites, orbiting the Moon e.g. be resilient to anti-satellite warfare within Earth's closer orbit ?
