China Friday launched one of the world’s most powerful rockets in a major step forward for its planned mission to Mars in 2020.

“The Long March 5 rocket is tasked with important missions,” Wu Yanhua, the deputy head of China’s National Space Administration, said in a video released by CCTV last week. China successfully launched the first Long March 5 in November 2016, which it said at the time was the most powerful launcher it had yet developed.

In 2003, the Asian giant, which now spends more than Russia and Japan on its civil and military space programs, became only the third nation to put a human into orbit.The Chang’e-4 lander — named after the Moon goddess in Chinese mythology — released a rover in the Moon’s South Pole-Aitken Basin shortly after New Year.
