Chang'e 5 and 6 are China's first sample-return missions to the Moon, and the first overall since Luna 24 in 1976. Each mission is comprised of an orbiter, a sample-return capsule derived from Shenzhou, and a lander. Both missions were launched in 2020 and 2024 respectively, and are precursors to a future Chinese crewed lunar landing planned to occur sometime in the 2030s
