China names its capsule and lander for its upcoming human lunar missions

In a recent announcement, the Chinese Space Agency (CSA) unveiled the names for its forthcoming lunar mission components. The CSA have been working toward sending humans to the moon through a series of robotic missions. The 22-ton capsule that is taking the astronauts to the moon is called Mengzhuo (translates to “dream vessel”) and the lander has been named Lanyue (meaning “embracing the moon”). Assuming all goes to plan, they will send two humans and a rover to the surface of the moon by 2030.
