China will start building relay satellites that by 2030 will act as a communication bridge between missions to the moon and beyond, and ground operations on Earth, Chinese state media reported on Wednesday.
A pilot of the satellite constellation will support China's ongoing lunar exploration programme and the building of the International Lunar Research Station , the official Xinhua news agency reported, citing Wu Yanhua, chief designer of China's deep space exploration project.
That year, China plans to launch the Chang'e-6 mission to retrieve lunar samples from an ancient basin in the far side of the moon.
