China has launched a robotic spacecraft to bring back rocks from the moon – the first such attempt by any country since the 1970s. The Long March-5, China’s largest carrier rocket, blasted off at 4.30am Beijing time on Tuesday from Wenchang space launch centre on the island of Hainan carrying the Chang’e-5 spacecraft.

The Chang'e-5 mission will test China’s ability to remotely acquire samples from space before more complex missions. If successful, the mission would make China only the third country to have retrieved lunar samples, joining the US and the Soviet Union
