India's space agency launched a
India's space agency launched a rocket on Friday (July 15) that will attempt to land a spacecraft at the lunar south pole, an unprecedented feat that would advance India's position as a major space power.
The Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) rocket blasted off from the country's main spaceport in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, leaving behind a plume of smoke and fire.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission is designed to deploy a lander and rover near the moon's south pole around Aug. 23.
The third Chandrayaan, which means "moon vehicle" in Sanskrit, includes a 2m tall lander designed to deploy a rover near the lunar south pole, where it is expected to remain functional for two weeks running a series of experiments. ISRO's Chandrayaan-2 mission in 2020 successfully deployed an orbiter but its lander and rover were destroyed in a crash near where the Chandrayan-3 will attempt a touchdown.
Only three other space agencies - the United States, the former Soviet Union and China - have touched down a lander on the moon's surface. None have landed near the lunar south pole.
