Mons Rumker, located in the northern part of the near side of the moon, was chosen as the landing site for the future Chinese mission Chang'e-5. The launch of the mission is planned for the end of 2020. This will be the first Chinese mission in which it is planned to return to Earth and deliver samples of lunar soil. The probe will consist of two parts: orbital and landing modules. The landing module will be equipped with a drilling rig capable of taking soil samples from a depth of up to 2 meters. In this paper, we studied the temperature regime and surface characteristics in the region of Mons Rumker. Mons Rumker is located in the northern part of the Oceanus Procellarum. The peak is of volcanic origin. The formation of the peak began in the Imbrian period and ended in the Eratosthenian, that is, its age exceeds 1.3 billion years. We investigated illumination and temperature conditions in the region of the peak. Selected part of the lunar surface is divided into a number of elements of given size. The height, slope and orientation of each element are calculated based on a DEM. To determine the position of the sun at each time step its angular height and the orientation will be calculated. This will allow us to investigate the insolation and solar and infrared flux from all elements of the surface visible from the element at a given time step. The peak height reaches 1.2 km above the surrounding area. The size of the base is about 75 km. The highest part of the feature is located in its southern part. The values of surface slopes range from 0.1 on the surrounding peak area to 9 degrees in the region of the southwestern slope of the peak. Slopes are in the range of 0.3 - 4 degrees in the central part of the peak. The maximum temperatures reach 359 K in this region, and the minimum - about 100 K.
