China postponed the Chang’e-7 lunar probe on Aug. 23, saying it could not launch during this year’s planned window because the mission did not meet launch conditions. The spacecraft had been slated to lift off from the Wenchang Space Launch Site in southern China in the coming days. Chang’e-7 is a robotic mission to the moon’s south pole, where it is intended to search for water ice. China’s space authorities said the decision followed a comprehensive assessment aimed at ensuring mission success.
