"India's Next Lunar Mission: Chandrayaan-3 Sets Course for Moon Landing"

India is preparing for its second attempt at landing on the moon with the Chandrayaan-3 mission, scheduled to touch down near the lunar south pole. The previous Indian moon landing attempt failed in 2019, and this mission comes shortly after Russia's failed moon mission to the same region. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is confident in the success of the mission, having made corrections based on the previous failure. India's low-budget aerospace program has been steadily growing, with achievements such as orbiting Mars in 2014. The Chandrayaan-3 mission aims to explore the relatively unmapped lunar south pole, contributing to scientific knowledge.
