General
A slide on China's next generation manned spacecraft. It will be used for China's manned lunar mission. From up to bottom, it consists of launch escape tower, return module, and service module. The mass of the space craft is 26 tons. It's designed to carry three taikonauts to lunar orbit and then dock with the lunar lander (see second image below). Also, a new manned spacecraft for near-earth missions will be developed based on this spacecraft and is expected to carry four to seven taikonauts.
