The twin mission aims for a detailed study of the outer boundaries of the heliosphere. The program does not include comprehensive research of the outer planets of the Solar System, with the exception of Jupiter, where the spacecraft will perform a gravity assist maneuver to accelerate and achieve the required trajectory.

The profile Chinese media is already publishing general outlines of the future missions, although it emphasizes that the concept is not yet finalized. Nevertheless, sources indicate that Chinese experts are in the final stages of project development and close to its official approval.

In a recent update, it has been highlighted that these missions represent a significant leap forward in China’s space capabilities, showcasing technological advancements in autonomous spacecraft design and long-duration mission planning. Experts from the international space community note the increasing competition and collaboration potential as China expands its scientific quests beyond the terrestrial boundaries.
