China envisions massive constellations of commercial satellites that can offer services ranging from high-speed internet for aircraft to tracking coal shipments.

The rover had recently been in the news after the Chinese team operating it reported the sighting of a mysterious ''hut-like'' structure on the far side of the Moon.

Dubbed as New-Generation Manned Launch Vehicle, the rocket will not only send humans to the Space Station but will also find a larger role in deep space missions.

With Europe imposing sanctions and canceling launch missions with the Russian space agency, Roscosmos could find a new partner in China.

The rocket is expected to crash into the far side of the moon on March 4.

The move comes amid growing concerns over Russian and Chinese military advances in outer space and a surge in satellite launches.

The robotic tentacle could crush a small satellite like ‘a python strangles its prey’ but that China does not plan to use it as a weapon, says observer.

Astronomers had initially identified that the rocket to crash on the Moon was the upper-stage of an old SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

China announced plans to boost space cooperation with Pakistan, including the development of a space centre and launching of more satellite.
