China is sending a major mission to search for water ice at the Moon's south pole. The Chang'e-7 mission will carry a rover, a lander, and a special hopping probe that will reach the Moon's dark craters where sunlight cannot reach.
China has vertically transported the Chang'e-7 lunar probe and the Long March-5 Y14 rocket to the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site. Assembly and testing are complete, and the vehicle will be launched to the Moon at the appropriate time. Pre-launch functional checks and refueling will proceed as planned.
