The year 2024 mark the 20th anniversary of the implementation of China's Lunar Ex-ploration Program(CLEP),so far,China has successfully completed seven lunar exploration missions(nine launch missions).By reviewing China's lunar exploration journey over the past 20 years,this paper systematically summarizes the technological progress made in the system opti-mal design of lunar probe,Earth and Lunar trajectory design and implementation,high-precision autonomous guidance,navigation and control(GNC)design,thermal control and management for long-term survival on lunar surface,sampling encapsulation,ground testing verification and oth-er aspects.It introduces the key technologies,theories,methods,algorithms and models that have been mastered for each critical task process,as well as the main experimental facilities and verification conditions currently formed.It also analyzes the main technological innovations achieved in the past lunar exploration missions,and briefly elaborates on the significant achieve-ments made in scientific exploration.Finally,the prospects for China's subsequent lunar explo-ration missions and the development of International Lunar Research Station(ILRS)are discussed.
