Subscribe not to miss the latest and most intrusive news from the world of science! In the last few years, India has had two unsuccessful attempts to land a month and thus become the fourth country of the world that could do it. Now the attention of many scientists on the planet is chained to the flight of the planting apparatus, given the fact that such landing in the area of ​​the South Pole of the moon has not been able to carry out the Russian apparatus "Luna-25".

Focus has already written in detail about the death of the Russian apparatus, as well as about the new Indian monthly mission. If the Chandraian-3 mission is successful, India will become not only a fourth country on the planet that could plant its unit on the moon, but also the first country to do so near the South Pole of the Earth Satellite.

During the rapprochement with the moon, before the planned landing on August 23, the Wikram module testing his camera, which should help him gently land on the surface. To do this, an image of the surface of the reverse side of the moon was made, which can see shoc crater and moon seas. For billions of years, the Earth has slowed down the rotation of the moon around its axis through its gravity. As a result, our satellite makes one revolution in the same time as the Earth.

So the moon is always inverted to our planet with only one side, and the reverse side of the moon has always been a special scientific interest. Wednesday, August 23, can enter the history of the study of the month, because at 15:34 the Vikram planting apparatus should be soft landing. If the moon with a moon is still landing normally, then for two earth weeks, until the day lasts, they will conduct research of the lunar surface and its subsoil.
