The objective of this chapter is to assess China’s long-term ambitions for a manned lunar landing. The analysis is comprised of two main sections. In the first, an extensive review of the precursor functional programmes for embarking upon a lunar endeavour—in particular of the manned spaceflight and the lunar exploration programmes—is provided. This will in turn be used as a basis for discussing the current state of play of Chinese lunar plans. More specifically, the second part will set out considerations of the skills and hardware development required for the implementation of the programme and an assessment of how the overall organisation of such a programme might be managed and structured. Some thoughts on the potential mission configuration will also be provided.
