Chandrayaan-3: India's Historic Moon Landing Today - Everything You Should Know

India's Chandrayaan-3 mission is set to attempt a historic landing on the lunar south pole, a feat that has only been achieved by the US, China, and the Soviet Union. The south pole is of particular interest due to the presence of water ice, which could potentially support future lunar bases and provide valuable insights into lunar volcanoes and the origins of Earth's oceans. Chandrayaan-3's mission, if successful, will run for two weeks and involve experiments to determine the moon's mineral composition. The landing could have implications for future space exploration efforts, with countries like Russia, the US, and China also planning their own missions to the lunar south pole.
