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

Quote from the ESA "Beckoning Moon" post at http://www.esa.int/spaceinimages/Images/20.../Beckoning_Moon
"... later this year, ESA tracking stations will provide critical support to China's Chang'e-5 lunar sample return mission, providing communications just after launch and helping Chinese mission controllers determine the precise trajectory of the return capsule." Fernando |

Long March 5 return to flight in July.
If all goes well, Cháng'é-5 at the end of the year. http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2019-01/29/c_137784351.htm Thorsten |
