JAW-DROPPING: Watch actual footage of Chang’e-6 sample collection and liftoff from Moon’s far side

Boom!: Stunning footage of the Chang’e 6 Lunar Lander Operating on the Moon. Just released footage of the spacecraft collecting soil and rock samples from the Moon’s far side. First spacecraft taking off from the Moon’s far side goes to Chang’e-6 . Ascent stage has already left the Moon with the collected samples, scheduled to return to Earth on June 25. Here comes much awaited stunningly cool actual footage of Chang’e-6’s operation on the lunar far side. Congratulations! Chinese national flag was unfurled and displayed on the lunar far side. China’s Chang’e 6 probe completed collecting lunar samples, lifted off from the farside of the lunar surface and entered the lunar orbit. After collecting lunar samples from the far side, Chang’e-6’s ascender fired it’s 3000N engine at 23:38UTC on June 3rd. 6 minutes later, it entered 15*180km lunar orbit. With 4 more orbital maneuvers, it will climb to 210km lunar orbit to rendezvous with the returner. There was a display of the national flag before taking off. Chang’e 6 has completed the lunar ascent phase, the next step is lunar orbit rendezvous docking and sample transfer! #chinaspace #ChangE6 #chinanews
