First test of the Chinese “Lanyue” lander

China is going step by step towards the Moon, there is a competition between the United States or rather led by the United States and they are actually two international groups because China leads other agreements with more nations with its plan to reach the Moon for the first time and establish a base there.

And what we are seeing is the test of the Chinese lander, it was on August 6, the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation did this first test of the Lanyue lunar module with the engines on and simulating lunar gravity, that is why it has those straps on top, obviously the gravity of the Earth is greater than that of the Moon, and to cushion or balance that and for the module to feel, in quotes, what lunar gravity would be, those straps pulled just enough to simulate that lunar gravity and thus be able to do this test.

It lasted about 30 seconds, it went quite well, and if everything goes well, and if everything follows the scheme that China has planned, two Chinese astronauts will land on the surface of the Moon in 2030, beginning a path that will lead to the construction of a permanent lunar base, a Chinese lunar base in collaboration with Russia, since it has had quite strong agreements signed for years and perhaps with some other nations.

Souce

There are 16 countries and international organizations that have signed collaboration agreements in the Chinese lunar project at different levels, although Russia's level of participation will be the highest of all, although it has recently signed agreements with the United Arab Emirates, which is a fairly powerful partner, at least economically, now, the question, how is the issue of the Moon going for the United States, the program led by NASA, the Artemis program that is led by NASA and is an international program that also includes the European Space Agency, Canada, Japan and more nations.

In summary, the development of the lunar landing Starship, which would be the StarShip HLS, which would be a Starship modified for lunar landing functions and which I have been mentioning for a long time, is going with delays, more engineers are also saying it, that this ship is impossible to land correctly on the Moon, it is too high, has a center of mass that is too high and has a complication for the astronauts and the goods and materials to get off the extremely complicated ship, they have to use a elevator, is that it is 50 meters high and about 9 meters in diameter.

I trust that in the end SpaceX, which has good engineers, will end up making a flatter, more practical StarShip with wider legs so that it has more stability when landing, but let's see what happens and to no one's surprise, the new Axion Space spacesuits, which are ordered by NASA, are also late.
