According to Xinhua News Agency, Chang'e-6 has completed docking in lunar orbit with samples transferred to the Earth-return vehicle.

Xinhua on Chang'e 6 docking

(I do believe this post is correct...)


Yeah, docking was at 06:48 UTC and the sample canister was transferred at 07:24 UTC.

This is a very preliminary sketch map of the rover route as suggested by the tracks. The exact path near the lander is very uncertain and the zigzag part should probably be more compact. I'm not sure if the lander scale is correct either but it must be fairly close to the right size.

EDIT: it's a bit too big here. Still a work in progress.

This is still preliminary but greatly improved over my first sketch of the Chang'e 6 landing site and activities. The rover route will be improved when we start to see papers or presentations about it.
