Interesting details coming out of an exhibition at National Museum, #Beijing to celebrate 30 years of China's human spaceflight program.

A model of #CNSA space station Tiagnong which is operational in orbit(~370km altitude) and a live size model of its core module.

Long March Family of rockets :

From right to left :
1.) Long March-5B (#CZ-5B), the most powerful rocket CNSA has in service.
2.) Long March-3
3.) This one isn't completely visible but I think it's Long March-2F. China's maiden crewed mission was carried on this.
4.) IDK

#Shenzou 13 return capsule. It was launched in 2021 and carried 3 astronauts in space to Chinese space station module for 180 days.

Now this and the next tweets are special.

For the first time #China or #CNSA unveiled a model of its moon service lander in which it intends to send its men to moon on crewed mission.

The right one is the next generation Chinese crewed spacecraft.

And this is supposedly from the next generation of Chinese launch vehicle. Although Chinese media is reporting it to be a next variant of Long March Family I doubt that. The chief designer of Chinese academy of launch vehicles said that it is 3x more capable than CZ-5B..

which translates to approximately ~25 tonnes capacity to Trans Lunar Injection (TLI) orbit, which is synchronous with the capacity of that not so discussed "Rocket 921". Personally I think it's that "Rocket 921" model.
