JAKARTA After landing on the far side of the month on Saturday, June 1, the ascender module has been released from Chang'e-6 lander. The Chinese Space Agency (CNSA) said that this module just released on May 3. Chang'e-6 has carried out its duties, namely collecting rock samples and regoliths from the lunar surface. The lander's board managed to collect 2,000 grams of samples and the entire sample has been put into an ascender module. Beijing Aerospace Control Center (BACC) engineer Li Xiaoyu, quoted from Spacenews, said that the process of collecting and packaging samples was going well. "The packaging work has been completed under normal conditions and the whole process is smooth." After being put into acrement, the module took off with the help of the Queqiao-2 satellite. This climbing vehicle is already in orbit and is expected to meet with the mission service module in the next few days. Once installed at the dock, the tube containing the sample will be moved to another module during the process of re-entry to Earth. In the process, the ascendant module will be discarded and the service module will be dropped to the Earth's surface.

According to CNSA estimates, the de-orbit process or re-enter Earth's atmosphere will occur on June 20 or 21. Meanwhile, the service module carrying the sample will land in Mongolia on June 25. If the service module succeeds in landing, China will successfully collect samples from the Moon. The samples collected will be further examined to find out what materials are contained at the bottom of the lunar crust.
