China plans to launch the Chang'e 5 lunar probe next year, which is expected to bring lunar samples back to the Earth, according to Pei Zhaoyu, deputy director of the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center of the China National Space Administration (CNSA).

据中国国家航天局月球探测与空间计划中心副主任裴照宇介绍，我国计划明年发射嫦娥五号月球探测器，预计将把月球样本带回地球。
While addressing a space conference, China's Space Day, Pei said that the Chang'e-5 lunar probe will be very complex, containing four parts: an orbiter, a returner, an ascender and a lander.
在中国航天日的太空会议上发表讲话时，裴照宇称，嫦娥五号月球探测器将非常复杂，包含四个部分：一个轨道器，一个返回器，一个上升器和一个着陆器。
The lander will put moon samples in a vessel in the ascender after the Moon landing. Then the ascender will take off from the Moon to dock with the orbiter and the returner orbiting the Moon, and transfer the samples to the returner, Pei said.
裴照宇表示，到达月球后，着陆器将会把月球样本装入上升器所携带的容器里。之后上升器将从月球上起飞，并与绕月飞行的轨道器及返回器对接，将月球样本转移给返回器。

The orbiter and returner then head back to the Earth, separating from each other when they are several thousands of kilometers from the Earth. Finally, the returner will make its way back to the Earth.

然后，轨道器和返回器将返回地球，当距离地球数千公里的时候，它们会进行分离。最后，返回器将回到地球。
After fulfilling the three steps of its lunar probe program - orbiting, landing and returning - China will conduct further exploration of the moon, including landing and probing the polar regions of the moon, said Tian Yulong, secretary-general of the CNSA.
中国国家航空航天局秘书长田玉龙表示，在完成探月工程“绕、落、回”三阶段计划后，我国将对月球展开进一步探索，包括对月球南北极着陆探测。
China will further develop its space industry after the unmanned lunar exploration is accomplished and its own space station is established around 2022.
中国将在无人月球探索完成后进一步发展航天工业，并在2022年前后建立自己的空间站。
Many experts have proposed building a scientific research base on the Moon in the future, said Wang Liheng, a senior consultant of the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
中国航天科技集团高级顾问、中国工程院院士王礼恒称，许多专家都建议在未来要在月球上建立一个科学研究基地。
