After a whirlwind trip to the Moon’s surface, China’s Chang’e-5 mission has successfully launched an ascent vehicle, packed with lunar dust and debris, back into space on Thursday. 

The spacecraft blasted off from a region called Mons Rümker, on the northwest near side of the Moon, just two days after it touched down alongside its partner landing robot, according to the China Lunar Exploration Program.
