China plans to send a flying robot to the far side of the moon next year to search for the frozen water that could hold the key to future lunar exploration, as the country pushes forward with its ambitious space program.

China’s Chang’e-7 mission will deploy a flying robot in 2026 to search for lunar ice in shadowed craters, advancing moon colonization and space exploration.

As part of the Chang'e 7 mission, China will search for frozen water, which would be crucial for future lunar exploration. Its launch is planned for 2026. NASA has confirmed this information. Chang'e 7 is a mission by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) aimed at exploring the Moon from orbit and its surface.

China’s space program has long been one of the most ambitious in the world, and its upcoming Chang’e-7 mission to the moon’s far side is a bold next step. The mission, set to launch in 2026, will send a flying robot to explore the lunar south pole in search of frozen water,

A flying robot will be China’s next tool in the search for water on the moon’s south pole. The Moon’s south pole has become a highly coveted destination for space exploration. The main attraction of the Moon’s south pole is the potential for water ice in permanently shadowed craters.
