China’s First Mission to the Moon
China’s first mission to the moon is launched to bring moon rocks back to Earth, which will be the first lunar sample brought back to Earth in over 44 years.
China launched its Chang’e 5 mission to the moon from the country’s launch site on Hainan Island in the South China Sea. The mission is looking to bring back soil and rock samples from the lunar surface for the first time in the country’s history, for scientific study.
The mission to the moon consists of four parts: an orbiter, a lander, an ascent stage, and a return capsule. The spacecraft is not equipped with any heating units to help the onboard electronics withstand the super-cold temperatures of the lunar night. That means the mission must collect its sample and start heading back to Earth within 14 days (the length of the lunar day).
