Over the last few days the most complicated robotic space mission to the moon has completed the most difficult parts of its mission. Landing in the target area, drilling in and collecting samples, then returning the samples to orbit in a small ascender vehicle. FInally, an orbiter has performed the first autonomous rendezvous in lunar orbit, docked and transferred the samples to a return capsule.

At this point the return vehicle will begin heading to Earth to return the samples for analysis.
