On August 23, Chandrayaan-3 is scheduled to land on the lunar south pole, a region still unexplored by humans
India is on the brink of making history with its third lunar expedition, Chandrayaan-3, poised to touch down on the lunar south pole at about 6 pm tomorrow. India and Russia had been in a race to reach the challenging south pole of the Moon, an area of great intrigue for scientists over the years. However, following the setback of Russia's Luna-25 mission, India now seems poised to secure the distinction of being the first nation to successfully land on this uncharted territory, believed to harbour reserves of water ice.
