China's Chang'e 5 probe lands on moon to collect and return lunar samples [i]China has landed a robotic spacecraft on the moon, moving a step closer to returning the first lunar samples to Earth in more than 40 years. The Chang'e 5 lander touched down in the moon's Oceanus Procellarum ("Ocean of Storms") on Tuesday (Dec. 1), a week after launching from China. The four-legged probe, which is equipped with an ascent vehicle for the return of moon rocks and soil, was confirmed down on the lunar surface at 10:11 a.m. EST (1511 GMT or 11:11 p.m. Beijing time).[/i]
