Abstract

The Chandrayaan-3 mission, which launched July 14, delivered the Vikram lander and the Pragyan rover to the south pole of the moon, a region previously unvisited by spacecraft and thought to contain water ice (SN: 6/18/22, p. 9). Luna-25 was bound for the vicinity of Boguslavsky crater near the moon's south pole, where it would have studied the moon's surface and tenuous atmosphere. Then on August 19, Russia's Luna-25 lander also crashed into the moon. [Extracted from the article]
