Explanation: China will send lunar probe to Chang’e 5 to land on the moon and return with samples in the second half of 2017 according to officials. SASTIND or State Administration of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defence has said this is the first time a Chinese probe will land on the moon, collect samples and return to earth. This marks the third stage of the lunar exploration endeavour by China. Beijing also aims to be the first to launch a probe on the far side of the moon. China will also unveil new generation of Long March 5 and 7 in 2016, along with other new satellites and space labs.
