China's Chang'e-5 Moon Mission: Landing, Sample Collection & Earth Return
Watch extraordinary time lapse video of the first lunar-sample mission in forty-four years!
This is camera footage of China's Chang'e-5 lunar robotic orbiter & lander in action during the year 2020. Each mission stage is presented: separation, lunar landing, drilling, sample collection, ascender liftoff, unmanned orbital docking, sample transportation, and return to Earth.
Chang'e-5 Moon Landing Site: Mons Rümker, region of Oceanus Procellarum—a vast lunar mare on the western edge of the near side of the Moon.
The Chang'e-5 lunar sample return mission was the first of its kind since the Soviet Union's Luna 24 in 1976. This successful mission made China the third country to return samples from the Moon after the United States and the former Soviet Union. India has plans for its own lunar sample return mission later in this decade.
