A newly released 49-second sped-up black and white video showed the lander\u2019s approach and landing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now that the samples have been collected, the next step will be for the ascent vehicle to launch back into lunar orbit with them onboard. From there, the samples will be transferred to the Chang\u2019e 5 orbiter, which will begin its journey back home. Once Chang\u2019e 5 gets close enough to Earth, it will send the samples into the atmosphere for reentry within a specialized capsule.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video aligncenter\"><video height=\"544\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 960 \/ 544;\" width=\"960\" controls=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2020\/12\/Change-5-landing.mp4\"><\/video><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reentry capsule with the lunar samples is expected to touch down on Earth around the middle of December. The samples will then be retrieved, and scientists will finally be able to study them. This is a rather exciting thought as these samples are likely far younger than any previously collected lunar samples to date. <\/p>\n<p>\t<span class=\"outbrain-ad-label\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script type=\"text\/plain\">\n\t\t\twindow.adSlotsConfig = window.adSlotsConfig || [];<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\tadSlotsConfig.push( {\n\t\t\t\tslotID: '\/1049447\/Outbrain',\n\t\t\t\tslotName: 'div-gpt-ad-outbrain-ad-7520',\n\t\t\t\tsizes: [300, 250],\n\t\t\t\tslotPosition: 'mid_article'\n\t\t\t} );\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"enjoy-reading-space-explored\">Enjoy reading Space Explored?<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 1, China\u2019s Chang\u2019e 5 spacecraft successfully made a landing on the Moon, where it was able to collect samples of the lunar surface.
