China Plans First Lunar Landing by 2030 Amid EVA Suit Advances
Beijing, September 20 – The recent Tianjin conference on space medical engineering highlighted that China's progress on extravehicular activity suits is directly fueling its crewed lunar ambitions. The EVA suit line now delivers reliable life‑support, seamless data transmission, and comprehensive astronaut health monitoring, all of which are essential for surface operations on the Moon.
Since the start of its space station program, China has refined suit safety systems, communication links, and biometric sensors, culminating in a nine‑hour continuous spacewalk that set a new world record. Over the past four years, Chinese astronauts have performed twenty EVA sorties using the same suit architecture, proving its durability and adaptability.
The lunar landing phase of the human exploration project has been declared fully launched, with a clear schedule to achieve a manned Moon landing before 2030. The integrated EVA suit suite will serve as the primary tool for astronauts during surface excursions, sample collection, and habitat construction.
These achievements not only reinforce China's standing in the global space community but also expand the technological foundation for future deep‑space missions.
