  • India is one of several countries — including the U.S. with its Artemis program — endeavoring to land on the Moon.
  • The south pole of the Moon is of particular interest, as its surface, marked by craters, trenches and pockets of ancient ice, hasn’t been visited until now.
  • India’s achievement comes just days after Russia’s Luna-25 spacecraft spun out of control and crashed into the Moon.
  • Chandrayaan-3,India’s third lunar mission, will work to build on the success of the earlier Moon missions and Isro officials say it will help make some “very substantial” scientific discovery.

  • And despite failing the soft landing, Chandrayaan-2 was not a complete write-off – its orbiter continues to circle the Moon even today and will help the Vikram lander send images and data to Earth for analysis.
  • The feat makes India the fourth country to land on the moon, and the first to land on one of the moon’s lunar poles.
  • Earlier this year, the first attempted landing by Japanese company Ispace also crashed in the final moments.
  • In 2020, ISRO estimated the Chandrayaan-3 mission would cost about $75 million.
  • The mission was originally slated for 2021, but was delayed by the Covid pandemic.

  • The full-sized V2 Starlink satellites are due to be launched by SpaceX’s fully-reusable Starship vehicle, but the delayed debut of Starship led SpaceX to create a condensed version of the satellites so they could be launched on Falcon 9.
