  Does anyone have the dimensions of the Chang'e 5 return capsule?
  

  To answer this question, the Chang'e 5 return capsule measures 8.2 feet (2.50 meters) in height and 8.27 feet (2.52 meters) in diameter.

• If you go to near the bottom of the linked page there is an image of the capsule back on the ground.  Unless the person kneeling beside it is of extremely impressive stature, that is not an 8 foot capsule.  On the other hand that page is for Chang'e 5 T-1, not Chang'e 5 itself, so I suppose it might have been a subscale test.  Some extra clarification might be useful.

  This shows the CE5 capsule with someone beside it.  Clearly it is much smaller than suggested in the previous post.
