At 9:51 on December 13th, Beijing time, the Chang'e-5 orbiter and returner assembly carried out the second lunar-to-ground transfer incident, and successfully implemented four 150N engines at a distance of about 230 kilometers from the lunar surface. It took about 22 minutes. After that, the engine shuts down normally.

According to real-time telemetry data monitoring and judgment, the orbiter and returner combination successfully entered the lunar-earth transfer orbit.
