India&s space agency launched a rocket on Friday that will attempt to land a spacecraft at the lunar south pole, an unprecedented feat that would advance India&s position as a major space power.Television footage showed the Indian Space Research Organization&s (ISRO) LVM3 launch rocket blast off from the country&s main spaceport in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, leaving behind a plume of smoke and fire, Reuters reported.The Chandrayaan-3 mission is designed to deploy a lander and rover near the moon&s south pole around August 23.Only three other space agencies & the United States, the former Soviet Union and China & have touched down a lander on the moon&s surface.

None have landed near the lunar south pole.The third Chandrayaan, which means &moon vehicle& in Sanskrit, includes a 2m tall lander designed to deploy a rover near the lunar south pole, where it is expected to remain functional for two weeks running a series of experiments.ISRO&s Chandrayaan-2 mission in 2020 successfully deployed an orbiter but its lander and rover were destroyed in a crash near where the Chandrayan-3 will attempt a touchdown.The post India launches rocket to land spacecraft on moon&s south pole first appeared on Ariana News.
