Like the CE-1 mission, the ascender had done all of its job, so they crashed it to keep the clearance of near Lunar space as they said.

Official confirmed that the Ascender had intentionally crashed on around Lan 30°S, Lon 0° at UTC 23:30, Dec 7th.

more clear footage of how the sample can transfer to reentry module Sample can requires to travel 630 mm distance from ascender to reentry module. To reduce the length of transfer mechanisms, the whole transfer mechanism includes two pairs of pawls (gif shows one of them, another one is located between docking mechanism and ascender ) and gears on sample can which formed a ratchet device. It take 4 rounds of push-and-back operation to transfer the sample can into the reentry module in around 10 mins.

A 4 minutes video about maneuvering, docking, capturing, sample transfer and hatch sealing. And about two hours ago the ascender and docking mechanism just seperated from orbitor

The Ascender may have extra mission due to fuel redundancy from excellent ascending and docking performance

Ascender and Docking Mechanism estimated seperate from Orbitor at 4:35 Dec 6th UTC

1.5 kg from surface, 0.5kg from drilling

Official confirmed CE-5 Ascender successfully enter the Lunar orbit, solar panel extended

After 19 hrs of sampling, the lunar sample had been sealed and loaded on the ascender which is going to launch at 23:10, Dec 3rd, UTC+8

Chang'e - 5 mission team utilized terrain data from radar of CE-5 Lander and AR technology to reshape the terrain of sampling area to perform 1:1 simulation on earth with less than 20mm error full video: https://weibo.com/tv/show/1034:4577711927263234?from=old_pc_videoshow

Surface sample scooped by the equipment will be pour into the sample can on the lander

now streaming surface sampling

Yes

This is not official video but CG

smh, seems no streaming allowed waiting for another "streaming" tmr morning (10am UTC+8) Update: Official confirmed CE-5 Lander & Ascender successfully landed
