Its space agency says the Chandrayaan-3 craft is on course for touchdown.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission is India’s second attempt to land on the south pole of the moon.
As news of the failure of Russia’s Luna-25 mission broke yesterday, Isro said that Chandrayaan-3 was on course to land on Aug 23. India’s moon mission blasted off on July 14, and the lander module of Chandrayaan-3 separated from the propulsion module last week. A successful mission would make India only the fourth country to successfully land on the moon, after the former USSR, the US and China.
