<p>The capsule of the Chang’e 5 probe landed in the Siziwang district of the Inner Mongolia region, state media reported shortly after 2am local time.</p>
<p>It had earlier separated from its orbiter module and performed a bounce off the Earth’s atmosphere to reduce its speed before passing through and floating down on parachutes.</p>
<p>Two of the Chang’e 5’s four modules set down on the Moon on December 1 and collected about two kilograms of samples by scooping them from the surface, and by drilling two metres into the Moon’s crust.</p>
<p>The samples were deposited in a sealed container that was carried back to the return module by an ascent vehicle.</p>
<p>The successful mission was the latest breakthrough for China’s increasingly ambitious space programme.</p>
