At the 1st International Deep Space Exploration Conference held in China today, it has been reported that Chang'e 7 (due to launch 2026) will land at 88.8° S, 123.4° E, which seems to be near the "Peak Near Shackleton" area chosen for further studies for the Artemis III landing.

I think this is the correct area? (from Stopar J. and Meyer H. (2019) Topography and Permanently Shaded Regions (PSRs) 87°S to Pole of the Moon, Lunar and Planetary Institute Regional Planetary Image Facility, LPI Contribution 2176, https://repository.hou.usra.edu/handle/20.500.11753/1261)

FQY-1; if it works, would this be the first ever machine to walk on another body with legs? (PROP-M on Mars 3 had legs with sleds, not quite the same thing).
It certainly looks like science fiction for now....
