The China National Space Administration (CNSA) plans a crewed Moon landing around 2030 under the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program (CLEP). The mission will use a new heavy lift Long March 10 rocket, a crewed spacecraft, and a lunar lander launched separately and assembled in orbit. Taikonauts will travel to lunar orbit, transfer to the lander, and conduct a short surface mission focused on science and technology demonstration. The program builds on robotic missions and aims to establish long term lunar exploration capability. The effort is part of broader plans for a future International Lunar Research Station.

China is developing a lunar space suit for crewed Moon missions that will provide life support, mobility, and thermal protection. Advanced joints and materials will allow taikonauts to walk, work, and handle equipment on the lunar surface, supporting scientific exploration and extended mission operations beyond low Earth orbit.

Why Resin?
It's very expensive to produce plastic injection molds, and manufacturers must sell a large number of models from each mold in order to recoup development costs. Some subjects are so obscure that it's difficult to sell large quantities of them. Resin-casting is a much simpler and less expensive process, and manufacturers can use it to make limited runs of models that can't be cost effectively manufactured in plastic or metal. With resin-cast models, collectors can add fascinating and unusual subjects to their collections without the time and difficulty of assembling and painting a model kit.
