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.
