In 2026, China plans to carry out two manned space missions and one space cargo replenishment mission. Aiming for its first crewed lunar landing by 2030, research and construction are progressing steadily.

Since entering a stage of space station application and development, China has completed six manned space flights, four space cargo replenishments, seven spacecraft returns and its first emergency launch. Six astronaut crews have carried out long-term in-orbit stays, conducting 13 extravehicular activities and multiple payload extravehicular tasks.
