China is going to send more than 50 spacecraft into space with over 30 launches this year. One of the most anticipated is the Chang'e-5 lunar probe which will be sent to the Moon to bring back lunar samples. Ten satellites will be sent to join the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System through seven separate launches. China will also launch a new Earth observation satellite and witness its first sea-launch by the Long March-11 rocket.
