China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe module has made a triumphant return to Earth, completing its groundbreaking mission of collecting the first-ever samples from the Moon's previously unexplored far side.
The return capsule landed precisely in the designated area in Siziwang Banner, north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region at 2:07 pm (Beijing Time). Operated flawlessly, CNSA declared the mission a resounding success.
Chinese President Xi Jinping lauded the mission's successful completion, and the capsule will now be airlifted to Beijing for analysis by scientists. The Chang'e-6 mission is poised to significantly enrich our understanding of lunar evolution.
