"Our probe consists of four parts. It looks like sugar-coated haws. From the top to the bottom, there are the ascender, the lander, the sample-return vehicle and the orbiter. The four parts constitute a probe after they were launched."

"Depending on the phrases of the different missions and the mission every probe carries out, they form different combinations. So during its flight, the probe's configuration will be different. Some parts will be on the orbit, others will be on the surface and still others will carry a parachute and land back on earth."

The lander-ascender combination and the orbiter-sample return vehicle combination of China's Chang'e-5 probe successfully separated at 04:40 on Monday, making things ready for landing on the moon at appropriate time, according to China National Space Administration.
So far, all the systems of Chang'e-5 are in good condition and the communication for ground measurement and control works well.
The combination of the orbiter and the sample-return vehicle will remain flying on the lunar orbit at an average height of 200 kilometers above the lunar surface, and wait for docking with the ascender, while the combination of the lander and the ascender will carry out landing on the lunar surface and collect samples.
Designed with multiple combinations, Peng Jing, deputy chief designer of Chang'e-5 probe, said Chang'e-5 is expected to make some breakthroughs on its journey.
"Our probe consists of four parts. It looks like sugar-coated haws. From the top to the bottom, there are the ascender, the lander, the sample-return vehicle and the orbiter. The four parts constitute a probe after they were launched," said Peng.
Peng said different part carries different functions and are designed to execute missions. During their journey, the four parts will perform different combinations to complete sampling and return depending on their missions.
