China is set to launch a significant three-man space mission to its Tiangong space station this Sunday. This mission marks an important step in the country's ongoing efforts to advance its space exploration capabilities.
One astronaut will remain in orbit for a full year, a duration that underscores China's commitment to preparing for future crewed lunar exploration.
This initiative aligns with Beijing's broader ambitions in space, as it aims to establish a presence on the Moon in the coming years.
