China's Chang'e-6 lunar probe is ready to be launched on May 3 after it completed a final systematic joint rehearsal on Wednesday. A Long March 5 carrier rocket, with the 8.2-metric-tonne Chang'e 6 probe on top, was moved on Saturday morning to its launch tower at the Wenchang Space Launch Center. The probe is set to collect samples from the far side of the moon, making this mission the first of its kind in human history.
