India Lands on The Moons' South Pole With Chandrayaan-3 Space Mission
BBC 24 AUG 2023
The Chandrayaan-3 mission has been declared a success as the Vikram lander touched down at 1.34pm UK time on Wednesday 23 August.
The Moon's lunar south pole is covered by shadow and largely unknown. Just days ago Russia's Luna-25 shuttle failed to touch down on the same mission.
If frozen water is found on the south pole, scientists say humans could be one step closer to inhabiting the Moon.
