China has selected 10 new astronauts for training as part of its goal to put a crew on the moon by 2030, the country's human spaceflight agency announced last week.
The latest batch includes eight pilots and two payload experts, according to the China Manned Space Engineering Office (CMSEO). They are set to receive about two years of training at the Astronaut Center of China (ACC) in Beijing, after which they will become eligible for crewed missions to the Tiangong space station in low Earth orbit.
