Released by the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory (DSEL), the roadmap outlines a series of upcoming and proposed missions targeting key destinations across the solar system.

China’s planetary habitability roadmap looks like this:

  • Tianwen-3 Mars sample return (2028)
  • Tianwen-4 Jupiter and Callisto orbiter (2029)
  • Habitable Environments Simulator (2030)
  • Venus atmospheric sampler return (2033)
  • Mars Science Station (2038)
  • Neptune orbiter mission (2039)

So happy to hear, finally someone other than NASA doing big exciting missions like this. ESA has done great things as well but not really much compared to NASA.

I hope China will be successful in these missions and deliver new science and discoveries, and spur more competition from NASA, ESA, and ISRO
