China's Chang’e-7 mission is expected to launch on Sunday, Aug 23. It is an ambitious mission to land in the Shackleton crater near the South Pole and search for water and minerals, which might some day be critical for human presence on the Moon.

The mission includes an orbiter, a lander, a rover, and a hopper.

The Chang'e-7 orbiter will spend several months orbiting the moon before releasing its lander near the end of the year.
