Chang'e 8

Chang'e 8 (Chinese: 嫦娥八号) is a Chinese mission that will travel to the south pole of the Moon. It will be composed of a propulsion module that will travel to the Moon, a lander, a rover, and a legged robot. The mission will land in the South Pole regions of the Moon to study the lunar surface environment around the South Pole and experiment with resource utilization, including testing an enclosed terrestrial ecosystem in the lunar environment. This mission will also act as a basic model of a future robotic lunar research station.
