China's Chang'e-6 launches successfully — what happens next?

Scientists have high hopes for the first mission to collect rocks from the far side of the Moon.


China has successfully launched its historic Chang’e-6 mission. The 53-day odyssey will be the most complex and challenging Moon mission China has carried out. If all goes according to plan, scientists will be examining the first rocks from the Moon’s far side by late June.
