The Chang'e 5 mission will be more difficult and challenging than previous Chinese lunar expeditions, its designers have said.

If the mission is successful, it will be China's first time to successfully retrieve an extraterrestrial substance. Furthermore, it will also make China the third nation, after the United States and the former Soviet Union, to bring samples back from the moon.
