BEIJING - China successfully landed a spacecraft on the moon’s surface on Tuesday in a historic mission to retrieve lunar surface samples, Chinese state media reported.
The mission will attempt to collect 2kg of samples in a previously unvisited area in a massive lava plain known as Oceanus Procellarum, or “Ocean of Storms”. The lander vehicle that touched down on the moon’s surface was one of several spacecraft deployed by the Chang’e-5 probe. State broadcaster CCTV said it would start collecting samples on the lunar surface in the next two days.
Congratulations
Mighty China
Will they be anything like this? I don't think so.
