China's current moon mission is to preform a sample return on a previously thought of lava site.
The last sample return from the moon was 48 years ago. The sample return confirmed that the moon's volcano last stopped being active 3.5 billion years ago. This current mission is to see if the moon's volcanic activities stopped way later. The landing site's sample return could confirm that the moon's volcanos stopped as late as 1 billion years ago.
Launch is happening in ~6 hours.
