BEIJING, Dec. 6 — The orbiter and returner combination of China’s Chang’e-5 probe successfully separated from the spacecraft’s ascender at 12:35 p.m. Sunday (Beijing Time), according to the China National Space Administration (CNSA).
The orbiter-returner combination will continue to orbit the moon, and wait for the right time to return to Earth with lunar samples.
Earlier on Sunday, the probe’s ascender successfully rendezvoused and docked with the orbiter-returner combination in lunar orbit.
