The Chang'e-5 spacecraft will carry out the lunar surface sampling in the pre-selected area after the power descent and successful landing
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, December 1 (Reporter Hu Zhe). The reporter learned from the National Space Administration that at 23:11 on December 1 the Chang'e-5 probe successfully landed on the front side of the moon in the pre-selected landing zone at 51.8 degrees West longitude and 43.1 degrees North latitude and returned the landing images.
At 22:57 on December 1, the lander and ascender combination of the Chang'e-5 probe began a power descent from a distance of 15 kilometers from the lunar surface. The 7,500 N variable thrust engine was turned on to gradually reduce the probe's longitudinal velocity relative to the moon from about 1.7 km/s dropped to zero.
During the period, the probe made rapid attitude adjustments and gradually approached the moon surface; after that, automatic obstacle detection was carried out. After the landing point was selected, it began to avoid obstacles and descend slowly and vertically, and landed smoothly on the north of the Mons Rümker in the Storm Ocean on the front side of the moon. During the landing, the landing camera equipped with the lander took an images of the landing area.
After a successful landing, under control from Earth, the lander has carried out the state inspection and setup work such as the deployment of the solar panel and the directional antenna, and will officially start the lunar surface work lasting about 2 days to collect lunar samples.
