south pole? 30. 10. as the chandra and 3 spacecraft successfully launched in mid july to great fun fast across india and the wind to weld the last week the indian space was such organization confirmed that land had separated from its propulsion section which had carried it close to the moon. now its hopes that landa code victrum will make you control to touch down new the moon, south pole. but that's no easy feat. up in 4 years ago was similar indian mission ended in a crash landing, which is cutting debbie the would not give off on it. space on positions and quickly launched it's the lunar attempt. until a few days ago, it was in a race against a russian spacecraft to reach the moon south pole. but most goes noon, a $25.00 pro. it's 1st moon mission in almost 50 is crashed at the weekend. the south pole is full of craters and deep trenches. and it's hard to land on the cartridge has a price less commodity. and that's bullshit, ice. and that could support a future noun, a call in a mining operations and

the south pole of the moon is pockmarked with deep craters. and because of the angle of the sun coming in, most of those craters are in total darkness the entire time. it lessens the amount of the area that you can actually land on and utilize. if indeed we find water in abundance there that could be utilized for future cruise and spacecraft, we want to make sure that is available to all. not just the ones that are claiming it. you mentioned russia. as a matter of fact, russia has launched a probe to land on the south pole. we wish them well. as you know, we have had a cooperative relationship with russia ever since 1975 with apollo soyuz. together. but i do not think that a lot of people at this point would say that russia is actually ready to be landing cosmonauts on the moon in the timeframe that we are talking about. -- talking about going to the moon, or possibly china would be. i think the space race is really between us and china. we need to protect the interest -- i have laid out.l community jackie: next question, kristin fisher with c

is the 1st country to successfully land on the south pole, if you will, of the moon. why focus the focus on this area of scientists have estimated that the south pole contains ice. and this is super important in mon exploration. because we believe that when there is ice, best possibility for life of the chances that we may even be able to build upon and station later in the south pole if there's water or if we were going to london other planets, having ice show would mean this is how we studied, we get a conflict of how to study extra texturing today. and so basically now the lambda has now landed. what's planned for the next phase? just as we speak, it is likely that the robot is coming out of the lambda and getting onto the surface of the moon. this roll will, has to spectrometers and the one which service, uh, what minute is had that and it the other which looks at what the method was, a data on it. and the land itself become this contains different equipments to study by the that i'm on. quickbooks where the temperature under the surface of the morning is hot, oak

naturally, i do not want to have trying to the south pole first. with humans. then say this is ours. stay out. like they have done with the spratly islands. look at pictures of the south pole, it is not like what you saw where neil and buzz were landing, constantly lit, from the sun, a few craters here and there, the south pole of the moon is pockmarked with deep craters. because of the angle of the sun coming in, most of those craters are in total darkness the entire time. it lessens the amount of the area that you can actually land on. and utilize. if indeed we find water in abundance there, that could be utilized for future cruise and spacecraft. we want to make sure that is available to all. not just the ones that are claiming it. you mentioned russia, as a matter of fact, russia has launched a probe to land on the south pole. we wish them well. as you know, we have had a cooperative relationship with russia ever since 1975, we built the space station together and we operate it together. i do not think that a lot of people at this point would say that russi

i'm a lack of data about the south pole but, but the south pole somewhere a but a countries want to get to particularly just focus through why that is, are sure because the soul full of the moon is that area of the moon that has resources like water ice that can be turned into also gen 4, supporting human habitation. it also has resources like titanium, byron, or aluminum magnesium that can be utilized. 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 the 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 a court which is just sign in june. and the item is a court 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, the 5 to 10 years. okay, so it was quite a, um, a list of, of the miner

the on the lunar south pole before arrival. indian mission expected to arrive next week. the far side of the moon seen from a russian spacecraft to luna 25 entered orbit last thursday where it had been searching for the idea of landing sight near the south pole. the launch earlier this month from russia is far east, cause monroe marked a new beginning for most goes moon program. it's been nearly 50 years since the last luna pro number 24, travel to the moon and back to what was then the soviet union carrying lunar soil samples to the launch pad. this time took longer than expected. liftoff was delayed by nearly 2 years. one major reason was the war and ukraine before the invasion, the european space agency was set to supply the space craft navigation camera. but the war put a stop to the partnership. as a result, russia said it would not share any of its scientific findings with its former international partners as well. she is not the only player and what's fast becoming a 21st century space race. nasa is planning to bring human. spect earth's closest neighbor within a f

the south pole of the moon has, well, we think it has of ice. has lots of ice. ice, of course for useful if you're going to send people to the moon because they will want to drink, they will want to perhaps split the water into hydrogen and oxygen and breathe the oxygen, and you can make rocket fuel from it as well. so ice is good. but also that crater on the south pole of the moon has a really high rim. part of that rim are in constant sunlight, more or less constant sunlight if you put your solar power generator, for instance, up there, you're always going to be generating some power and what's more, we think that possibly whatever created that impact, at the time, it would've made the lunar crust and the upper mantle come to the surface, let's say, of that crater down below. so we might see minerals there that we don't see anywhere else on the moon. really exciting part of the moon to go to. this is an impressive achievement, especially for the indian space agency. how will this be looked at in history? they've been going into space with sate

india's lunar mission is just a few hours away from attempting to land on the south pole of the moon.sful, india will become the fourth country after the us, the former soviet union, and china — to perform a soft landing on the lunar surface. so what does the mission mean for the country's standing as a space power and forfuture lunar exploration? here's archana shukla with the latest. we're all fingers crossed. it would be a moment of national pride if india's lander is able to set down safely on the lunar surface to become the first country to land on the moon's south pole, which is also called the dark side of the moon and considered trickier. there is great anticipation across the country with events and live screenings of the landing planned in educational institutions, many offices and public places. after a failure in 2019, this is india's second bid to land on the lunar south pole and is crucial for the country's space ambitions and its reputation for cost competitive space engineering. after the crash of the russian lunar craft on sunday and amidst renewed global interest in

well 1st of all, who knew that the south pole of the moon was gonna become so popular? it was the discovery of uh, water there that really started and started that part of the popularity of the moon . and as the points out, this is incredibly important because of the need for the resources to explore the rest of the solar system. but as far as ownership of the moon is concerned, you know, there have been policies in place since the 19th sixty's that talk about ownership . and the intention was that the moon was going to be very much like the research bases that add article where no one owns the moon or owns any of the planets. and so it really has been brought down to who can get there 1st to explore what resources are there. so i don't think that i don't think we're going to see any time soon. uh, any kind of, uh, lease arrangements or any kind of real estate sales or parcels that the mood or anything like that. but it all really comes down to who gets to where 1st to make and use the resources available in general. but with india at the moment leading that race, is th

o, looking to explore whether there's water and the result is on the south pole of the moon. so how big a set back has the kremlin stuff it and what does it mean for arrival programs and business benches. alphabets. well, we'll get to that with august and just a moment, but 1st his katya lopez hold of yeah, it was russia's 1st mission to the moon in almost 50 years. but the luna 25 of 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 a prevented them access to very high performance micro electronic components which they need further 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. scientists believe parts of the moon may hold deposits of ice for drinking water and other precious elements that in the future could be mind by astronauts. and competition is growing. india is ex
