26 Aug. 2023. The success this week of the Chandrayaan-3 mission from India to land in the moon’ south polar region provides a chance to look ahead to moon missions planned for the foreseeable future. The business research company Statista published an infographic this week with moon missions announced through 2030.
According to Statista, the Jaxa space agency from Japan plans a landing later this year, while NASA from the U.S. also expects to launch an orbital mission to the moon this year. Next year, however, looks busier with Jaxa, NASA, and companies under contract to those agencies planning to orbit or land payloads or rovers on the moon. In addition, China plans a complex landing, rover, and drone mission in 2024.
