China postpones Moon water probe launch
The Chinese space agency announced that the launch of the water search mission at the South Pole of the Moon, scheduled to be carried out using the Chang'e-7 probe aboard a Long March 5 rocket, has been postponed after a comprehensive assessment determined that the planned launch conditions this year are not suitable. This decision comes two weeks after a previous failure to launch a Long March 7A rocket carrying a communications satellite, with the cause of the incident still under investigation. China is moving forward to strengthen its lunar exploration efforts, aiming to land a crew by 2030, in its pursuit to compete with the United States within its national space program.
