to because education makes the world a more just make up your own mind. w. made for mines the . this is the w news. live from orlando downtown for indian mission to the moon. lashondra on the spacecraft aims to put a rollover on the unexplored south pole of the moon to search for ice. but 1st it has to avoid another crash landing the

sierra kelly. welcome to the program. india space agency is set to launch a rocket that will attempt to land a robotic rover on the moon. the shondra on 3 mission aims to touch down on the moon's largely unexplored south pole. the rock that is being launched from india space center on india's east coast, with this mission in the hopes become only the 4th country to successfully land a craft on the moon. several earlier emissions ended in failure. one of its objectives is to explore the moon's polar region for ice, which could potentially support a future space station. and that's how bringing data versus meta rama my ra christian, who joins us here in the studio for more. and you know, we can see that they're just sort of setting up here. we're expecting the launch to

happen at any moment. we're going to carry it live here on dw, in is what are we expecting to see him this time? the mission is a super anxieties. it didn't because of ton very on to which class just moments before it's defend um, but the agency has manage to bulk up the system and provide a lot of safeguards. one of the most important thing is this extra fuel. and there's about 300 kilograms, which is addition to all of this 300 kilogram goes into putting in safeguards to prevent failure. i set a time on assuming us in an interview earlier. he said that the whole mission was designed not to have success, but to prevent failure among adjusting framing their yeah, you know, we're looking for to tell our viewers to we're looking at live pictures there. um, we saw a countdown clock actually a short while ago. we seem to be just minutes away actually from, from launch. we're bringing you these be live images of

a shondra on 3. what everyone there is hoping will be a successful mission and it has some really big goals, doesn't it? it does own, as you pointed out, the southern ford has never been touched before, turned around to try to go in this region, but it crashed there. so there was a full killing. me does reduce that. they had kind of predictive saying this is where it's going to land, but it did not, and the deputy is still in the area. so they did not want the new tundra on to crash in the same area where this debbie. so they have a shot in the radius and to just half a square kilometer. so this is a very, very narrow landing site that they're looking at. so it's precarious, but a lot is that i didn't want this. tell us a little bit more about the landing rollover 1st of all there, there's an interesting story behind the name and the name is vick brown. i'm. what's special about that, what a special about the rover itself? um the robot, it's called the chrome because it's named after indian space research father

becomes setup by so literally eco is about to perform a full important experiments on the moon. on one of them being checking the temperature off the lunar surface about 10 centimeters on to the ground. basically when you know the temperature of them, when you know whether or not it's suitable for a water movement, then it's also looking out for moon quick's like how we have a quick that our quick stuff constantly shifting, the moon's us separating in levels. and this basically explores whether or not that i'm one quick thing. we know more about the ones dynamics because the ruler is going to leave behind a deflector, uh, and east lake and also would be sending a file that says constantly to the moon. and this middle would be picking up on the spot so, so india is leaving it behind so that other space agencies can work on that. we keep going to the countdown clock hara we can see in the life image is coming. we're, we're, we're a little under a minute and a half to launch. this is

a really big moment, isn't it? especially for india and it's based ambitions. yeah. and then there has been one thing to be on the global space market for a very long time. and also it, it would put india as a technological leader. as this mission succeeds, india has future plans to collaborate with zip on to work on loops, which is another lunar mission in the planning. this would also ensure that when other space agencies send out satellites, india may have access to data like many of these and will use assign between different space agencies. i'm not particularly bonding, but it's established as a friendly relationship. and india can provide something to the world and get something in return. what do you think is going through the minds of everybody there in the room right now? we think we're seeing 36 gets to launch now. i think there's a lot of anxiety in india because uh, events under and to fan that was a very most movement. and uh, i guess i will,

has been the frontier of scientific and d was in india a and a lot of curiosity has been spock by this agency among children of all across the country and across a border. so it's very exciting. okay. you know, let's just pause for it for a moment. we're seeing, we're less than 10 seconds to go. so let's pause and see if we can listen in there for a 2nd. live golf, not a model or we have them, but just to keep the same for real. if you're getting the speed you send the mt cisco for welding, curriculum or program to talk with them. food. okay, got your beam title page. that's fine, but keep the way up the power the heart if it's out or something the message cuz they've been on either hard headed over a gun. equal romantic, good. as we get with the public,

gets all key audience. any key on somebody on the board to be as as google. ok, do you guys every 2nd moving closer to the completion? the total milestone in its mission to every indian which was 3 in the making 10 that i'm not case about but i'm not top jordan, it can be a $1030.00 on the emission. go pull it up and then you've got to go ahead to put them on me though. no. as 200 step on boosters, someone should buy them. got their way up and their district executive barbara is $200.00 multi region reading the pages. ok. let's do 6000 b and you can send back to the appropriate and 204.5

tons. and each step on closer to tons of properly being bugged. each 2nd. and you are watching the long as the is from that space station in there. in india and we're here on dw news, we're just listening to some of the commentators this continue to listen in a little bit more about one of the staff while i'm home on the full. steve has also convinced its own patients this, these, these one companies nor the pipeline funny story of the news is 25 and then to all, for now the is 200 to have been separated. good. now can i'm can know side. yeah. yon i yes, this young say as 400 struggling boost. our school stuff was double up. it took gotta be, i get your gum separation. motors became a that's

a key. i got the okay. you're looking at live pictures. they're in the special agency. launching a rocket that will attempt to land a robotic rover on the moon. the tundra on 3 mission aims to touch down on the moon's largely unexplored south pole covering this live event for us. this big moment um for india, a space program is trust me to run the christian on from dw, joining us here in the studio. what were you thinking as, as we saw this, my heart's been raising, looking at this because some very young is a huge submission for india and growing up or children were carried away by a how ambitious this mission was. it's not just about the pride of putting something on the moon, but i think it would take the country's investment in science and technology. the way ahead if this mission actually succeeds. and this would also open avenues globally to send many more lunar emissions to see what we as people on us can

benefit from the learnings on your duties. what is going to be happening now or for the next hours the next next days. what can we expect to 100? so one thing this uh, tundra and 3 sets out uh it would feed into the orbit of the one. it would be about 100 kilometers from the surfaces the morning. it would all be good. and somewhere on the 23rd or 24th of august, it would send out the line to into the moon's surface. so once this happens to 14 days, this is an entire sunlight seated on. it would say that it would collect all the readings and data, and eventually at the mission would send out data that reflect that would be put out. and this would be the end of the land that it says, and its not without its talent is that of course um, like tundra, to had its own set of, uh, problems as well. and this time they've trying to remedy for it. uh,

the challenges are primarily in how unpredictable the one surfaces that i have a lot of creators. and we don't know what the cost of the cost exactly in the last time rent $100.00 and to cash. so this is another thing. there's also lost on the surface when we don't know if it's going to cost interference with defense source. this was also a problem that happened last time. the sensors were a little unreliable. so these are some of the challenges they're trying to fix. what are the chances now of a successful landing? and they've been talking about that, i mean, what, what are the expectations? the expectation is that should go on with the coast of india. the state has specifically chosen as a kind of valley that are rocky mountains all around it, but the area of the landing itself is quite slot. um so that expecting it should look out. all right. and even if it crashed lance, this time that uh uh,

extra mirrors on that over. so this would give you the kind of cushion uh, in some sense and uh, the software updates to, uh, kind of prevent the central failing. so if it fails, that new system stuck with the cova and 6 base agencies monitoring the satellite data from tundra. and so this is one huge because even if india lose this track of what tundra is up to for the moment that are like 5 other satellites that are going to pick it up right away. okay, so big a big moment here. the shondra and 3 aiming to touch down on the moon is largely unexplored. south pole, it's off now. it's on the mission and i just need to know the time it is is joining us here on dw news. you'll be following this for us and you'll be back. so thank you so much for your reporting and putting, putting this into the context for us. thank you so much. i let's, let's move on now to some of our other top stories here on dw russian president
