摘　　要：As the cornerstone mission of the fourth phase of the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program,Chang’E-7(CE-7)was officially approved,and implementation started in 2022,including a main probe and a communication relay satellite.The main probe,consisting of an orbiter,a lander,a rover and a mini-flying probe,is scheduled to be launched in 2026.The lander will land on Shackleton crater’s illuminated rim near the lunar south pole,along with the rover and mini-flying probe.The relay satellite(named Queqiao-2)will be launched in February 2024 as an independent mission to support relay communication during scientific exploration undertaken by Chang’E-4,the upcoming Chang’E-6 in 2024 and subsequent lunar missions.The CE-7 mission is mainly aimed at scientific and resource exploration of the lunar south pole.We present CE-7’s scientific objectives,the scientific payloads configuration and the main functions for each scientific payload with its key technical specifications.
