Lunar Mission One

Japan's "Moon Sniper" was set to touch down early Saturday on the lunar surface, one of myriad new missions on the back of renewed interest in Earth's natural satellite.

Moon Missions: Japan, whose unmanned "sniper" probe will attempt a lunar landing on Saturday, is one of many countries and private companies launching new missions to the Moon.

When Indian space agency scientists set out to design the Chandrayaan-3 moon mission, they knew they had one more chance to make history with a landing on the lunar south pole after a failed attempt four years ago. They also had to do it on a shoestring budget and ended up spending only Rs. 6.15 billion on the mission.

After the successful deployment of Chandrayaan-3's lander and rover on the moon, ISRO is hoping that their mission life will not be limited to one lunar day or 14 earth days, and that they will come back to life when the sun again rises on the Moon, to carry on with the experiments and studies there. Following the deployment of the lander and rove...

India's bid to become the first nation to land a spacecraft on the moon's south pole neared its conclusion today, the latest lunar push that has drawn in the world's top powers and new players.

With Chandrayaan-3 mission's Lander 'Vikram' and rover 'Pragyan' scheduled to touch down on the Lunar surface on Wednesday, the task for the duo is cut out and here is what they will do once they reach the Earth's only natural satellite.

India's space agency is attempting to land a spacecraft on the moon's south pole, a mission that could advance India's space ambitions and expand knowledge of lunar water ice, potentially one of the moon's most valuable resources.

ISRO on Tuesday stated that it had successfully performed the third orbit-raising manoeuvre for the recently launched Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft, ahead of the expected landing on August 23. The Chandrayaan-3 mission to the Moon was launched on July 14 and the fourth Earth-bound perigee firing is scheduled to take place on July 20, according to the sp...

After the successful launch of Chandrayaan-3 on GSLV Mark 3 (LVM 3) heavy-lift launch vehicle on Friday, Director of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) S Somanath said that landing is one important step for further exploration. Chandrayaan-3 is the ISRO's follow-up attempt after the Chandrayaan-2 mission faced challenges during its soft lan...

Chandrayaan-3, the upcoming lunar mission from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is scheduled to lift off on July 14 at 2:35pm IST. This will be ISRO's their mission to the Moon. Chandrayaan-3 will be launched in the coming days as the successor to Chandrayaan-2, which was sent towards the lunar surface approximate four years back, on ...

NASA's Artemis I was on course Wednesday for a crewless voyage around the moon and back hours after blasting off from Florida on its debut flight, half a century after the final lunar mission of the Apollo era. The 32-story-tall Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 1:47am EST (12:17pm IST), piercing the bl...

The European Space Agency on Wednesday announced the names of seven astronauts that would be trained by the agency to embark on NASA's Artemis II moon mission. Astronauts from France, Germany, Italy, Denmark, and the UK will train for the US space agency's upcoming 'Lunar Gateway' orbiting module, and three astronauts will be selected for the missi...
