About Chang'e 5:
On November 24, 2020, the Long March 5 Yaowu carrier rocket developed by China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation was successfully launched with the Chang'e 5 probe and sent into the scheduled orbit. On December 1, Chang'e 5 landed in a preselected landing zone on the front of the moon. In the early morning of December 17, the Chang'e-5 returner landed on Earth with lunar samples.
The Chang'e-5 mission has created five first Chinese firsts in the sampling and encapsulation of extraterrestrial objects; the first ignition take-off and accurate orbiting on extraterrestrial objects; the first unmanned rendezvous docking and sample transfer in lunar orbit; the first time to carry lunar samples back at nearly the second cosmic speed; and the first to establish a storage, analysis and research system for lunar samples in China.
