At the 2026 Tiandu International Conference on Deep Space Exploration, China
announced the launch of an international Earth–Moon CubeSat constellation
science program. The plan envisages partnering with multiple countries to deploy
a satellite swarm across Earth–Moon space to establish a 3D network for
space-environment monitoring, gamma-ray burst detection and lunar resource
prospecting. The preliminary timetable targets completion of all satellite
launches and deployment around 2030, aiming to fill a global gap in systematic
Earth–Moon-space observations.
