The lunar lander is called "Lanyue" (Embracing the Moon) and it "marks the first time that China has carried out a test for extraterrestrial landing and takeoff of a manned spacecraft,” according to China Manned Space Agency (CMSA).
The tests were conducted in Huailai County, located in the northern Chinese province of Hebei.
