China is looking to send two rockets to the moon by the end of the decade in the modern race to space.

Both rockets, one carrying the lunar lander and the other transporting the Chinese astronauts, will enter the moon’s orbit by 2030, allowing China to become the second nation to land people on the celestial body.

Zhang Hailian, an engineer for the China Manned Space Agency, announced the update Wednesday at an aerospace summit in Wuhan, according to Reuters.

The future mission is part of a larger effort to establish a lunar research station on the moon, where China will explore and conduct scientific investigations to determine how to build the outpost.

After completing their scientific research and collecting samples, the astronauts will take the lander back to the orbiting spacecraft and return to Earth, said Zhang.

He also revealed the specific technology of what Chinese researchers are developing, including the Long March 10 carrier rocket, a new-generation crewed spacecraft, a lunar lander, and a crewed lunar rover, to meet the communist nation’s ambitious space goal.

Ever since the first space race, China has remained behind the United States and Russia in making its mark on the final frontier. China successfully launched its first satellite in 1970, which was more than a decade behind the two rivaling nations.

Now, China is looking to make up for lost time by putting astronauts on the moon. Neither the number nor the names of astronauts have been revealed yet.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is expected to return to the moon by 2025 — the first time America has had a physical presence on the lunar satellite since 1972.

The update comes more than a month after China first unveiled its plans for traveling to the moon.
