The Long March-5, China’s largest carrier rocket, blasted off at 4:30 a.m. Beijing time in a launch from Wenchang Space Launch Center on the southern Chinese island of Hainan carrying the Chang’e-5 spacecraft.

State broadcaster CCTV, which ran live coverage of the launch, showed images of CNSA staff in blue uniforms applauding and cheering as they watched the spacecraft climbing through the atmosphere, lighting up the night sky. The samples then would be transferred to a return capsule for the return trip to Earth, with a landing in China’s Inner Mongolia region.

Asked when China was planning to put astronauts on the moon, Pei said any decision would be based on scientific needs, as well as technical and economic conditions, adding: “I think future lunar exploration activities should be carried out by a combination of man and machine.” “We want to find out what is special about these regions and why they remained warm longer than the rest of the moon,” Siegler added.
