Of course, a mechanical or electronic failure is likely to end the mission long before the RTG wears out (same as on Curiosity)

Chang'E 5 T1, the mission which tested the return capsule design for Chang'E 5, also imaged the CE5 landing area near Rumker - see a few posts above this for more details. This paper:
https://www.spiedigitallibrary.org/conferen...623.short?SSO=1 describes attempts to de-blur these images. (you can't get the paper without subscription, but you can get the abstract from that page). This probably explains why so few images have been released. In any case, LRO images will be better and are freely available for the mission planners to use.
