Mission Profile

The Long March 10C (CZ-10C, 长征十号丙) is a planned variant of China's Long March 10 super heavy-lift launch vehicle, configured to support China's human lunar exploration program under the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program. Designed as a two-stage vehicle, the Long March 10C is intended to launch the crewed lunar lander or other heavy mission-critical hardware to lunar transfer orbit. Targeted for initial operations around 2027, it forms a key component of China's plan to land astronauts on the Moon before 2030 and establish a sustained lunar presence.
