China will carry out four missions to send cargo and human spacecraft into space in 2024.

The China Manned Space Research Office (CMSEO) announced the plan on November 19.

According to plan, next year, China will launch four cargo spacecraft and manned spacecraft, including the cargo spacecraft Tianzhou-7, the manned spacecraft Shenzhou-18, the cargo spacecraft Tianzhou-8, and the manned spacecraft Shenzhou-19.

Recently, the Tianzhou 7 cargo spacecraft was shipped and transported to the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site in Hainan Province, southern China, to carry out installation and inspection work...

According to plan, the Tianzhou 7 cargo spacecraft is expected to be launched into space in early 2024 at the Wenchang Space Launch Site.

On October 26, China launched the Shenzhou-17 spacecraft carrying a new crew to replace the group of astronauts on a 5-month mission to the country's Tiangong space station.

After completing the mission, the Shenzhou-17 crew is expected to return to Earth in April 2024.

China is stepping up its plans to conquer space. Accordingly, the country aims to send a crew to the Moon by 2030 and then build a base on the lunar surface.
