China's space mission Chang'e-5 will soon be heading back to Earth,... after successfully collecting lunar samples.
The probe's robotic ascender collected rocks and soil from the Moon's surface on Thursday.
And as of Sunday, the cargo capsule carrying the materials had returned to the orbiting spacecraft.
The mission is expected to land in Inner Mongolia later this month.
If successful, China will become just the third country after the U.S. and the former Soviet Union to have retrieved samples from the moon.
