Designation: China Crewed Lunar EVA Suit
China's next-generation lunar surface EVA suit — revealed in concept form in 2023, targeting China's 2030 crewed Moon landing as part of the International Lunar Research Station program.
China's crewed lunar EVA suit is under development at CASIC's Aerospace Life-Support Institute (the same organization that built both Feitian generations) for China's planned crewed lunar landing, targeted for 2030 under the China Crewed Lunar Exploration (CCLE) program. CNSA publicly revealed a concept model at China's Space Day in April 2023. The suit is expected to borrow heavily from the Feitian Gen 2 rear-entry semi-rigid architecture while adding full planetary surface capabilities: enhanced dust mitigation for lunar regolith, expanded joint range for geological sampling, longer duration life support (expected to exceed Feitian's 8-hour ISS EVA limit for lunar sortie planning), and thermal management for the extreme lunar surface environment (−200°C to +120°C at polar regions). China aims to land taikonauts near the lunar south pole as part of the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) partnership with Russia and other nations. If successful, China will become the second nation after the United States to conduct lunar surface EVA.
