Abstract: China's manned lunar exploration engineering has entered the implementation phase, with the first Chinese lunar landing before 2030 established as a clear national objective. As a core data backbone linking environmental constraints, system design, and mission effectiveness, engineering parameter measurement payloads have evolved from traditional telemetry functions to key components supporting long-duration lunar surface stays, in-situ resource utilization, and infrastructure construction. Addressing four core mission scenarios—resource exploration and mining, lunar surface habitation, facility maintenance and repair, and space transportation—this paper reviews the measurement requirements under extreme environments and identifies three key technical directions for China's engineering parameter payloads: spacecraft state and parameter measurement, lunar environment detection, and on-orbit validation of new technologies. Furthermore, a development pathway is proposed for the evolution of engineering parameter payloads from "isolated physical quantity monitoring" toward systematized, intelligent, and on-orbit directions, with specific recommendations from the perspectives of top-level planning, core bottleneck breakthrough, and standard system construction. The results provide decision-making reference and technical support for the overall design of China's manned lunar exploration engineering, the construction of the engineering parameter payload system, and the subsequent lunar research station construction.
