Chang'e 7 Will Not Launch in Its Planned 2026 Window

On August 23, 2026, an official Chinese space-programme page issued a short notice stating that the Chang'e 7 mission had not met launch conditions and could not launch in the originally planned 2026 window. The page did not announce a replacement window or identify a specific technical or scheduling cause. This report therefore confirms only two points: the planned 2026 window is no longer applicable, and an updated timetable has not been published by the responsible authorities. Claims about a failure, launch-vehicle status, payload changes, or a later launch year are not supported by the cited notice. The notice and the reported event are both dated August 23. WenchangSpace will treat any later official update as a separate development and will not present online rumours or speculative dates as mission status.
