China's Lanyue lunar lander, weighing approximately 26,000 kilograms, is designed for crewed Moon missions by 2030. It features a heavy propulsion module for descent and landing. Training for taikonauts includes manual control simulations. A successful test in August 2025 demonstrated coordination between engines and thrusters, ensuring safety and adaptability during potential mission abort scenarios.
