China’s “Chang’e-5” probe has successfully collected rock samples from the moon’s surface, according to the China National Space Agency (CNSA). The loader took a panoramic photo of his surroundings.
According to the “Spiegel”, the space agency provided the image with a resolution of 15,000 by 7947 pixels. This means that even small stones that the loader pushed aside when landing on the ground can be seen.
“Chang’e-5” landed “successfully” on the lunar surface on Tuesday. The probe is now preparing to send the samples back to Earth, the authority announced Thursday. “Chang’e-5” has collected a total of two kilograms of material from a previously unexplored area of the moon. The researchers hope this will provide information about the origin of the moon.

If the mission went according to plan, it would be China is the third country after the United States and the Soviet Union to bring soil and rock samples from the moon to earth.. It is the first mission of its kind in four decades.
The probe stored the samples in a special container. The US space agency Nasa announced that they would land in a capsule in Inner Mongolia, a region in northern China, in early December.
