Chang'e (China)

Chang'e is China's lunar exploration program named after the Chinese moon goddess. It includes a series of robotic missions launched by the China National Space Administration (CNSA) to study the Moon. Key missions involve landing rovers like Yutu ("Jade Rabbit") to explore lunar terrain, deploying orbiters to map the Moon in detail, and preparing for future crewed missions. The program aims to advance scientific understanding of the Moon's geology, resources, and environment, supporting China's broader goal of becoming a major space power and enabling potential human exploration of space.
