Chang'e 5 was the fifth lunar exploration mission in the Chinese Lunar Exploration Program of CNSA, and China's first lunar sample-return mission. The spacecraft pair launched on 23 November 2020, atop a Long March 5 rocket from Wenchang Space Launch Site on Hainan Island, landed on the Moon on 1 December, collected ~1731 g (61.1 oz) of lunar samples (including from a core ~1 m deep), and returned to the Earth on 16 December. Like its predecessors, the spacecraft is named after the Chinese moon goddess, Chang'e. Chang'e 5 was the first lunar sample return since the Soviet Union's Luna 24 in 1976. China became the third country to achieve this, after the US (Apollo 11) and USSR (Luna 16).
