Chang'e 5 will be a Chinese lunar exploration mission current scheduled for launch in 2017. Chang'e 5 will be China's first lunar sample return mission, aim to return at least 2 kilograms of lunar soil and rock samples back to the Earth. The probe will be launched by Long March 5 rocket in Wenchang Satellite Launch Center on Hainan Island. After making a soft landing on the Moon, the lander will dig and collect lunar sample from up to 2 meters below the surface. The lander will carry engineer landing cameras, optical cameras, lunar mineral spectrometer, lunar soil gas analytical instrument, lunar soil composition analytical instrument, sampling sectional thermodetector, and a robotic drilling rig. Unlike earlier Soviet missions, the mission will make an automatic rendezvous and docking with the return module on lunar orbit before flying back to the Earth.
