HISTORY MADE: China has made spaceflight history yet again. China’s Chang’e-6 lunar probe with sample from the moon’s far side has successfully soft landed.
The nation's robotic Chang'e 6 mission returned material from the moon's mysterious far side to Earth on Tuesday (June 25) — something that had never been done before.
The milestone moment occurred Tuesday at 2:07 a.m. EDT (0607 GMT; 2:07 p.m. Beijing time), when Chang'e 6's return capsule landed in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Chang'e 6 consists of four modules: a lunar lander, a return capsule, an orbiter and an ascender (a small rocket carried by the lander).

The lunar material touched down in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region early Tuesday morning (June 25).
