China is set to undertake a Mars mission to bring back rock samples to Earth, using two carrier rockets. The 'Tianwen-1' mission has already sent a rover to Mars, but this new mission aims to search for signs of life and collect samples from the surface, air, and through deep drilling.
The challenges include safely collecting the samples, launching them from Mars, and docking with the return module in orbit without contaminating the planet. China's mission is scheduled to launch from the Wenchang Spaceport in 2028. NASA also has similar plans with its Mars rover 'Perseverance' having already collected rock samples.
If successful, this mission would be a major milestone in space exploration.
