Today at 17:30 GMT is the launch for China's third lunar mission Chang'e 3. This time it's a mission to land a rover on the lunar surface in order to take pictures of the lunar surface and search for natural resources and to study lunar geology.
The rover named Yutu will be launched from Xichang space center in southwest China's Sichuan province.
In case of success this mission will be the first in 36 years to land on the Moon!
The last mission with a lunar landing was Soviet Union's Luna 24 in 1976.
