After less than a year of investigating the lunar surface, the Chinese probe Chang-e 5 already contributed to an extraordinary find: it sampled the youngest lunar rocks ever.

On the 9th of February,  a United Arab Emirates spacecraft reached Mars, followed two days later by a Chinese probe. This week, we expect NASA’s next rover to land on the Red Planet.

At 8.30pm British time on Monday the 23rd of November, the China National Space Administration (CNSA) successfully launched its Chang’e 5 lunar mission.
