time runs faster on the moon than the same clock on the earth.t is a problem that we are beginning to worry about coordinating. what about relating communications. does everybody have to have their own satellite, relay satellites orbiting the moon and interfering with the radio telescopes with justin thomas hope will be put on the backside of the moon, which offers a unique opportunity? to listen in on pallets of other solar systems? there needs to be common infrastructure. who gets to enjoy these? private corporations which are driven by stockholders who may be greedy? there is a lot of human problems to be solved, as i think derrick was indicating. laura: where is the u.s. in its space program? why are we not seeing america or nassau trying to land on the south side of the moon? guest: well, that's where we heading. the artemis program that nasa has now undertaken and is, you know, a third of the way into it for building new rocketry and building new capsules to land on the moon, is planning to do its next lunar orbit in 2025, i think. so they

is a soft landing on the moon on the south side. there will be a number of scientific tests, including the testing of soil and other scientific instruments. laura: one more question to you. india was the first to discover water on the moon some 10 years ago. that is a key issue for people to return their. do we have any idea how to extract water from the moon? >> mean not being a scientist would not be able to answer your question completely, but what we have learned from our first mission, we are expecting that on the southern side we will find water. and that would be very important for future missions going to the moon or maybe for exploration of all the parts of space. laura: steve, what happens when one finds water on the moon? >> the big step unfortunately in the opinion of some people concerned about preserving the lunar environment like a national park is that you find ways to exploit it. while it is critical to find ice come out we are pretty sure there is no bottled water or an ocean there. it is going to be in the form of

see what went wrong with the moon? a 25. the russian space crawl crashed on the moon instead of making a soft landing at the south pole. as all the countries compete in the waste, a space was less than was it being done from the stadium. this is inside story, the other there and welcome to the program. i'm laura kyle. it was admissions, elevate, rushes, standing both at home and in space. spot, luna, 25 spacecraft, fail to stick its landing the crashes raising questions about moscow space program, particularly as rush it becomes more isolated from the west. competition is let us alongside russia, india, china, and the u. s. o, looking to explore whether there's water and all the results is on the south pole of the moon. so how big a set back has the kremlin stuff, and what does it mean for rival programs and business benches out of this? well, we'll get to that without guess in just a moment. but for his katya lopez hold a. yeah, it was russia's 1st mission to the moon in almost 50 years. but the luna 25 lunar lander failed t

it was russia's 1st mission to the moon. in almost 50 years with the luna 25 lunar lander failed to live up to its name. it crashed onto the surface of the moon exposing challenges perhaps beyond russia space program. western sanctions imposed on russia prevented them access to very high performance micro electronic components which they need for their spacecraft because the supply chain is collapsed. they're having to either bypass it in some other way or build instrumentation at home. the racist about space, exploration and prestige, but also about business. let me try again. it's scientists believe parts of the moon may hold deposits of ice for drinking water. another precious elements that in the future could be mind by astronauts and competition is growing. india is expecting its own spacecraft, tundra yon 3 to do with the russians, couldn't and land on the lunar south pole $11.00 c m, along with the us, china and russia. india is also spending big on expanding its reach in space. is a moment of the moment. and i do mome

but in fairness, people, nations company crash on the moon all the time. they've been to crashes on the moon in april, a loan of this year by 2 different nations. ok to that of the nation and just to moving data, of course, to india. steve, why do you think this particular time it might have happened? do you think we should be looking at 2 political reasons we should be looking at the state of russia's economy? ukraine will. all of these issues didn't they play into the russian space program? i think they do maybe use crane not so much because lunar, uh, attempted landing with a plan for a long, long time. but uh uh, at some point to what was the soviet program became the, the russian program lost a lot of funding loss political emphasis. the truth that most of the early space programs were intended for geo political credit, prestige more than science. and so they haven't had to study funding that the nasa and some other nations have had so many years to get practice in building space. quite a flying missions with all the latest technology. they may be rus

we're going to head to india slash, the moon. becoming the first country in the world to land near the moon's south pole, just days after a similar russian mission crashed in the same region. this is the graphic representation of the lander as it touched and very slowly for those first few minutes on to the south of the men. —— of the moon. just in the last few days, russia had tried to do this and it crashed. it was an unsuccessful attempt from russia and just in the last few moments, russia has congratulated india on its moon landing. let's get a bit more on this now. live now to delhi and pallava bagla, science editor for ndtv. thank you very much for coming on the programme. what a moment for india! fin the programme. what a moment for india! �* . ., ., ., ., india! an amazing moment for india. and for the world. _ india! an amazing moment for india. and for the world. for _ india! an amazing moment for india. and for the world. for india - india! an amazing moment for india. and for the world. for india to - and for the world

we start this hour on the moon. india is the first country to land a spacecraft near the south pole of the moon. a moment of history for the moon. a moment of history for the country. it was a tense final six minutes as it descended onto the lunar surface. we'll show you the moment. first, we take you inside the control room, just before landing. remember, this was in an crewed spacecraft, no one on board, everything controlled from here in the control room. and just to explain what we are going to see, the president, narendra modi was not there, so he was beamed up on a screen to watch, and also on the screen to watch, and also on the screen was a graphic, a computer—generated representation of the land as it descended. here's india's prime minister narendra modi. cheering and applause. people are applauding, let us wait to hear— people are applauding, let us wait to hear from the department of space and the _ to hear from the department of space and the chairman. you can see the cheers and the celebration, landing

land on the moon? senator nelson: this is a question every country in the world is asking. of course the specific answer to your question will be decided years later. thus far, those countries who are represented by an astronaut going to the gateway have participated in the planning and will participate as part of the gateway, which is the mini outpost that will orbit the moon. a question about landing on the moon is to be determined. obviously, it will be as a result of a participation. in japan's case, they are interested in doing a compartmented pressurized rover on the moon. that would certainly be a part of the consideration. other nations are doing the same kind of planning for the future, as well. even though we have a u.s. ambassador in japan, he is constantly asking me on behalf of the japanese government these questions, nevertheless, that is going to be determined some period in the future. jackie: thank you all so much. unfortunately that is all we have time for today. please feel free to re

and if we do find water, this means that there is a tons of life on the moon. this means that we have the possibility of setting up a permanent station in the morning sometime in the future, not any time soon, but it gives us us cope to conduct scientific experiments on this basis. additionally, the south also has out or is set to have a lot of ministers and metals, which i've read. and if we do find them, we get to know a little better about the origins of this or last system. how it is, how it was made, or like how it's composed. we get to know more information on this. and we would also get to know about the site of the moon that's not been explored too far. all is the landings that's happened in the past was closer to the equator of the moon, some light in the center. so we haven't explored the city and schumann so far. so this really is something that is incredibly exciting. dw science reporter, such misa, ramakrishna, and thanks so much. thanks for bringing us up to date. south vs in zimbabwe, costing the ballast as the country elect to new parliament, loc

our return to the moon. i would be interested in hearing how you would describe the goal of that project, the benefits. since we are talking about elon musk, elon musk and jeff bezos, the owner of my newspaper, they see going to mars as a way of saving our civilization. they had the biggest ideas about planet earth decay and the need to leap into the heavens to save ourselves. does this white house have a similar vision when you think about project artemis and going to the moon? >> president biden is very clear on ensuring that we have the first woman on the moon. and the first person of color on the moon. the astronauts were recently announced and we have three americans and an astronaut from another country. not only is there prioritization to going back to the moon but there is a desire to go back to the moon together with other nations. that for astronaut is canadian. we are going with an allied partner. we had a successful rocket test and then the astronauts can fly into years. there we have a follow-on

failed, the luna 25 station lost its orbit and collided with the moon . t. having spent less than 10 days in space and according to plans of the russian space agency, it was supposed to become a unique goal. it was the first time to land on the south pole of the moon and work on the surface of the body for about a year according to the flight program. on august 19, luna 25 was supposed to start landing on the moon, but it strayed from the planned orbit and lost contact with it. later, the space agency reported that the device the surface of the moon was destroyed by the impact, now roskosmos is going to investigate this incident , the spacecraft was launched. development of soft landing technology, research into the internal structure and exploration of resources, in particular, water on the moon, the last time a mission to the moon was sent from the territory of russia back in 1976. it was prepared by the soviet union , then the station was called luna 24, and the mission that failed was being prepared since 2005, the russian writes about it the bbc servi

, uh, this is the moon, nine first the soviet apparatus that successfully touched down on the moon eventhe distant 66th year, in fact, the russian luna 25 did not depart from it. too far later, there will be a program with a lunar rover, and russia decided to appropriate all these space achievements of the ussr but it has nothing to do with the soviet school, for some reason it decided that it would be able to repeat the successes of the soviets with regard to the lunar programs of automatic stations, but 47 years have passed, the specialists who did it no longer have experience, they did not have time to transfer it, now it is similar to its place among outsiders, none of the interplanetary space programs of the russian federation had no success in the years after the collapse of the soviet union, e.e. russia managed to launch only three space stations in the direction of celestial bodies , that is, mars 96 drowned in the pacific ocean and more the most recent development is phobos soil in 2011, which also repeated the participation of its predecessor and also drowned in such an ocean.

india aims to become the first country to reach the moon's south pole. russia's president putin tells a group of world leaders at the brics summit, that the west is to blame for the war in ukraine. andrew tate prosecution files reveal graphic claims of coercion ahead of his trial. hello, i'm sarah campbell, welcome to bbc news now, three hours of fast—moving news, interviews and reaction. india is hoping to create history by becoming the first country in the world to reach the moon's south pole. its spacecraft is due to begin its descent to the lunar surface very shortly. this is the chandrayaan—3 rocket taking off from the bay of bengal last month. if successful, india will also become the fourth country in the world — after the us, russia and china — to make a soft landing on the moon. the mission will allow experts to explore whether there is water ice on the moon which might then support human habitation there. india is hoping to avoid the disaster that struck russia's space programme last week when their luna—25 shuttle crashed into the moon's surfac

the final -hase the moon a's service. the final phase which — the moon a's service. final phase which will be the - the moon a's service. the final| phase which will be the vertical navigation phase. applause., listen to that. the vertical velocity is showing as a zero now on the screens in mission control. still some nervous faces. but that round of applause said a lot, didn't it?— lot, didn't it? that indicates that now the performance _ lot, didn't it? that indicates that now the performance has - lot, didn't it? that indicates that now the performance has been l lot, didn't it? that indicates that - now the performance has been done and where in the vertical phase one. the altitude has been brought down from 800 metres and we are nearing and approaching the lunar surface. these are live pictures from mission control in india where you can see this graphic that is showing you what is happening right now. india's prime minister that. he is watching from the brakes on it and you can see the figures going down and down, just 500 metres now above the moon's surface. a

is she on the moon? ms with the university of nottingham . i think we'll nottingham. i think we'll obviously just look at what we're expecting and that is that they are going to try a soft landing as it's called, on the south pole of the moon, basically using an orbit and then coming down with firing the sort of retro rockets , sturdier sort of retro rockets, sturdier legs than last time , which may legs than last time, which may bnng legs than last time, which may bring a success. i think we can speak to maggie now . maggie, i speak to maggie now. maggie, i was just saying that clearly they've tried to learn lessons from last time. i think they've got sturdier legs on this particular so they a particular vehicle so they get a better . better landing. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean, last time they had software problems and landing on the moon is really difficult. in some cases even more difficult than on mars because at least on mars, you have an atmosphere to help you slow down on the moon. we don't have an

andrea on 3 space cross will very soon attempt to touch down on the moon's south pole. now, this comes just days after a similar russian leading atlanta crashed. also coming up on the program, drones target moscow for the 6 nights in a row striking buildings and forcing ad foreclosures. meanwhile, ukraine says roxanne drones, palms grain stores in odessa and lead us from the bricks nation this whole, the 2nd day of this summit in south africa, the wells major emerging economies say that being held back by rich western countries and want to expand that outside of cent alliance plus zimbabwe as i was saying in general elections and made high inflation and unemployment. the opposition hope to end the ruling policies organ forcing. he is in power, the money keeps mccain. and thank you so much for being with us. in less than 2 hours, india will attempt to become the 1st country to land a space craft on the moon's south pole. now the chandra on 3 will shortly attempt to touch down and begin exploring parts of the dark side of the moon. this is india's 2nd attempt. the lunar la

it launched a 2nd mission to land on the moon in mid july. its 1st attempt to come down softly and 2019. sailed the chandra on 3 land or has a longer flight plan so could actually be touching down around the same time as rush is lunar $25.00. most emissions are aimed at the moon's southern poll navi, it was a post. so typically are the most interesting areas not only to look for the history of the universe, but also we know that there was abundance of water. on the craters, i see water and the water can be used to produce hydrogen and oxygen. and as we all know, that's the source of life as nations gear up for what many experts see as a new era and space exploration. the moon will play a central role mode for its resources and as a stepping stone for further endeavors with the lunar $25.00 mission. russia is also trying to get in on the ground floor floor. and this i'm joined by keith calling in washington dc. he is an astro biologist and a full month nasa employee. he currently works as a jan this covering space policy, but they're happy with

if you look at the, the map of the moon, sort of the history of a been so if you had missions to the moon and i'm interested in the other missions, well, american emissions and the goal ended more newly. so this is a really aiming for the book at last, the crates of, which is very solely with these parents of wanted to pull that. so i'm going to be so essentially close to that. have to get this going to take a couple of days, 3 to 4 days and they have to land, then they have to do conducted experiments and then ship those experiments back. so that's really what's going to determine the success so, so we wouldn't really know until about use time. but just if i've got the time to say this, you know, just landing leave with a professional doing a soft landing. remember the resist the emission, but the europeans to which to, to, to a, to, to accommodate even that they had a perfect landing site and, but he bounced him a crime, but it bounced and you are a bonus sloth about bar itself is the root cause most the russian space agency has said that that is really that primary focus now is to

it showed several photos of a crater on the moon taken by a spacecraft. it said that it had already been able to analyze some chemical features of the lunar surface, and then through for several hours, while the russians were trying to transfer the spacecraft to the so-called pre-landing orbit, there were problems with communication, and later there was a message from the space agency that as a result of a collision with the surface of the moon, the device ceased to exist, at the same time india is trying to achieve exactly such the very results of landing a spacecraft on the south pole of the moon for the first time india launched the chandra jan three mission that should land at the end of august on wednesday it is clear that it was a space race and now it seems that india has a much better chance to win this race, i should note that the indian space agency launched this mission and earlier its rocket had an accident, which indicates that this is not an easy operation, but it is also worth emphasizing that at the beginning the space race was between the

luna—25 was scheduled to land on the south pole of the moon tomorrow. e regional editor, paul moss has this update. it's important to understand what this mission was hoping to achieve. as you've said, the idea of the luna—25 mission was to land a space craft on the south pole of the moon. this would have been the first time that it had happened. this was important for two reasons. first of all, scientifically it was very interesting. what the russians were hoping to do was to detect ice or water on the moon, which would be very important if there was ever to be a permanent moon base. however, this project was also all about prestige and that's why this latest development is so important. russia launched this space mission in the midst of sanctions and acknowledged it couldn't get some of the technical parts it would normally need for a space mission. they went ahead anyway and at the time of the launch, there were critics who said, well, they thought they had only a 50—50 chance of success. if russia successfully landed this spacecraft on the south pole

their last mission to the moon was in 1970, so it's been a long gap. so who knows what could happen? but if they missed this opportunity, it could mean that they will be out of the running to get to the moon soon for another few years out of cost. i've got other countries, holes on the hills in their especially is looking to land on the moon. so any day now, any time next week, i believe yes, that's right. so with india hot on the heels and china also pressing the case to get to the moon. and for the same reason to get to the south pole where it's imagine that in shadowed craters, as you mentioned, there is frozen water ice that could be used for oxygen and potentially fuel. all things that would make building a based on the moon uh, easier to do. these objectives are being, are trying to, being, being reached by uh, the, the main powers that have the capability for space exploration and russia does not want to be left out of that. and so i'm sure they're going to do everything they can to fix whatever the problem is and at least attempt a landing on mo

india is aiming for the moon. the country launched its 3rd moon mission on july 14 . and if it manages to achieve a soft landing, india will become the 4th country in the world to have done so after the us, the former soviet union on china. now that's a very small club. let's take a look at how india is making a mark even in space. a wire. on july 14th, 2023. an indian rocket was launched to the estimation succeeds. india will go down in history as the full country, along with the soviet union. the us in china to successfully land the spacecraft on the moon. it's a historic event for the public and for the director of the indian space reset your organization. anthony has already done that and 3 cut off ended up inside. so it'd be that on to. ready the change and spacecraft was on a stable circular pos around the us before leaping towards the moon in a tight circular old bit. while other missions take less than a week, this one will take over a month. why so long? in the i chose this to choreograph it's travel is over to the moon in a very different fashion if you've no

she was absolutely over the moon. there were a lot of tears, a lot of emotion. nor probably was even happier, because she had some time to recover from the anesthesia. so it was a veryjoyous moment for everybody. the recipient was born without a normal uterus, but with functioning ovaries. with her husband, she already has eight embryos in storage and could go on to have two pregnancies, after which, her sister's womb will be removed so she can stop taking powerful drugs which prevent her body rejecting the transplant. so she's doing really, really well. she has started having menstrual periods and that means her prospects of having a baby are very high. she needs to stay on immunosuppressive therapy and to be closely monitored. and we hope to be doing an embryo transfer in the autumn. in 2014, a woman in sweden became the first to have a baby after a womb transplant. since then, around 100 transplants have been performed worldwide with 50 babies born. the surgical team here is funded by a charity, womb transplant uk, and has permission to carry out the procedure

can the current interest in the moon affect the prospects for the exploration of the moon in russia in the future? after all, he was not born randomly. these are not only geopolitical goals or ambitions. this is an opportunity to use the natural resources of the moon and may be in the future the formation of a site for deep space exploration - this is an ideal site for long interplanetary flights, in no case should the lunar program be interrupted. it would be the worst decision ever. i think the experience is a negative experience. interruption of the lunar program for almost 50 years, this has been the main reason for the failures we have, in fact, to do it all over again. to master all the technologies, of course , at a new technical level, but no one ever gives a 100% guarantee of such things. i can give you examples. while over the past four years the israeli emirati indian mission has also suffered moon landing failures in the soviet union and the united states at one time, it took decades to achieve the first soft landing. do you think it is worth continuing russia to participat

why is the focus on this part of the moon? in particular, all the lunar landings that have happened in the prospect china, us and soviet have all happened. you know, the increase over the environment is more conducive for lunar landing. with us the southern for less we saw in the report that a lot of creators with us and we don't know the students. so when they impact college as a dock side of the moon, because we don't know so much about it. and a tundra on 3 used to become nanda will be landing on the 1st day of the idea, so it would have 14 days to survive and then collect the data and then it goes into the dock. so it's this precise window in which this light in the south pole, and it's going to gather all of this information in that short period of time. maybe there's a 2nd chance after the 14 days of darkness when it's solar powered, so you need the sun for it to work in the south for this. okay, and tell us a little bit about the information they're trying to collect. so mean what, what are they going to get from that sp

for example, if you want to set up a base on the moon. so that is why, especially many countries are interested in that particular area, including the united states, china, russia, and now india. so that makes this particular area so strategic because it enables emissions that india will have to now look forward to, for example, in the. a is a partner to the united states. autumn is the courts, which is just sign in june. and the ottoman records actually wants to be able to do resources lives ation missions. and so that is why the south pole is so critical for those particular missions that are going to come in the next say, 5 to 10 years. okay, so it was quite a, um, a list of, of the minerals and the elements that you, that you listed there on. these are important that these are, these are useful in the electronics and clean technologies. so just is it now going to be the wild west is anyone who can get the, gets a key, whatever they can stuff in that pocket or that rules that international traces. so there are agreements, for example, y
