China’s latest lunar mission, called Chang’e-5, is on its way to the Moon after a successful launch on Monday from the Wenchang Spacecraft Launch Site on Hainan Island.

Assuming everything goes to plan, Chang’e-5 will touch down on the Moon within the next two weeks, scoop up a few kilograms of lunar dust and rocks, and haul them back to Earth next month. If it completes these tasks, it will be the first mission to deliver Moon samples to Earth since the Soviet probe Luna 24 in 1976.
