China unveils new spacesuit for planned crewed moon landing by 2030

China plans to land its first crewed mission on the moon by 2030 and has unveiled a new spacesuit for the astronauts. The suit, shown at a ceremony in Chongqing, is designed for the moon's harsh conditions. The new spacesuit is lighter and more flexible than the current suits used by Chinese astronauts. It includes features like a panoramic visor and a communication console. A public campaign has been launched to name the suit. NASA, which first landed humans on the moon in 1969, is also preparing for a return mission by 2026. This sets up a potential competition between the U.S. and China for the first crewed lunar landing of the 21st century.
