Hello! We have more news about space telescopes. The China Space Station Telescope (CSST), also known as Xuntian, will be sent to space around 2026. This huge and modern telescope weighs about 15,550 kilograms. It is designed to move along with Tiangong space station, so it can be more easily maintained and repaired. It is expected to help people explore more areas in space.

News report 4
China's Chang'e-7 lunar probe will launch later this year. It is going to the Moon's south pole. The mission will look for water ice in dark craters and study the ground there. The probe has four parts: an orbiter, a lander, a rover, and a small flying robot. The flying robot can jump into deep craters to collect samples. This mission is a key step for China's plan to build a research station on the Moon. Scientists hope its findings will help humans explore and live on the Moon in the future.
中国的嫦娥七号月球探测器将于今年晚些时候发射。它将前往月球南极。任务是在黑暗的陨石坑中寻找水冰，并研究那里的地面。探测器有四个部分：轨道器、着陆器、月球车和一个小型飞行机器人。飞行机器人可以跳进深坑采集样本。这次任务是中国在月球上建立科研站计划的关键一步。科学家希望它的发现能帮助人类将来探索和生活在月球上。
