　　The preliminary plan is to launch two carrier rockets to send a lunar lander and a manned spacecraft to a lunar orbit, respectively. The craft and lunar lander will rendezvous and dock with each other, and then taikonauts will enter the lander. As the lunar lander descends and arrives at the preset area on the lunar surface, taikonauts will carry out scientific tasks and collect samples. After completing the planned tasks, taikonauts will return to the lander, which will lift them back to the lunar orbit to dock with their spacecraft. In the final step, the spacecraft will fly taikonauts back to Earth with lunar samples.

　　目前，我国载人登月的初步方案是：采用两枚运载火箭分别将月面着陆器和载人飞船送至地月转移轨道，飞船和着陆器在环月轨道交会对接，航天员从飞船进入月面着陆器。其后，月面着陆器将下降着陆于月面预定区域，航天员登上月球开展科学考察与样品采集。在完成既定任务后，航天员将乘坐着陆器上升至环月轨道与飞船交会对接，并携带样品乘坐飞船返回地球。

　　To accomplish this task, Chinese researchers are developing the Long March-10 carrier rocket, a new generation of manned spacecraft, lunar landing modules, lunar suits, manned lunar rovers, and other scientific equipment.

　　为完成这项任务，我国科研人员正在研制长征十号运载火箭、新一代载人飞船、月面着陆器、登月服、载人月球车等装备。
