Chang'e-5's lander-ascender combination and the orbiter-sample return vehicle combination of the probe have successfully separated in preparation for landing on the moon.

All the systems 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.
