Landing Wednesday that the Chinese probe "Chang'e-5" landed in the northern region of Inner Mongolia, after returning from a trip to the moon.
For the first time in 40 years, the Chinese probe "Chang'e-5" completed its mission on the surface of the moon to collect samples from it and carry them to Earth.
"Chang'e-5" consists of several parts, which are an orbiter (that remained in the moon's orbit during the implementation of the mission), a lunar lander (it landed on the moon's surface), and an ascent unit (from the surface to the moon's orbit).
China is the third country to achieve this achievement after the United States and the former Soviet Union.
