5. Question
Recently, the Chang’e-6 became the first spacecraft to bring back samples from the far side of the Moon — the part that the Earth never gets to see. Which of the following countries has launched Chang’e-6?
Correct
(c) China
China’s Chang’e-6 spacecraft became the first to return samples from the far side of the Moon, which the Earth never sees. The lander descended to the Moon’s surface and spent two days collecting rocks and soil from one of the oldest and largest lunar craters, the 2,500 km-wide South Pole-Aitken (SPA) basin, using a robotic arm and drill.
The lander then launched an ascension module, which delivered the samples to the Chang’e-6 lunar orbiter. On June 21, the orbiter released a service module, which returned the samples to Earth.
