Chang'e is about to go to the south pole of the Moon, which is full of unknowns, to carry out a very challenging comprehensive exploration mission. At the engineering level, Chang'e 7 will break through a number of key technologies: high-precision soft landing on the lunar surface, lunar leg walking, lunar surface leaping, in-situ detection of permanent shadow craters, etc. There are a large number of permanently shaded pits at the south pole of the Moon. There is no sunlight all year round. Under extremely low temperatures, it is possible to preserve water and ice resources for billions of years. This is a valuable resource for future lunar residency, and it is also the top priority of this exploration. The scientific goals of Chang'e-7 are clear and clear: explore the lunar surface environment, lunar soil water ice, and volatile components; carry out high-precision detection of the lunar south pole morphology, material composition, and geological structure; detect the shallow structure of the lunar crust, lunar seismic, magnetic field, thermal properties, and space environment; carry out moon-based astronomical observations while carrying multinational cooperative payloads to promote international cooperation in lunar exploration. The first-hand Antarctic data obtained by Chang'e 7 will provide key scientific support for Chang'e-8's construction of an international lunar research station, and help humans unravel the many mysteries of the lunar south pole.
