India's space agency ISRO said in a social media post - which came within minutes of Russia announcing the destruction of its craft - that it hopes to land its Vikram robotic moon lander on Wednesday.
India could be about to take one giant leap ahead of Russia in the space race - with its latest lunar mission just days away from attempting to land.
India's space agency ISRO announced via X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday that it will attempt to land its Vikram robotic lander on Wednesday. The post was sent as news broke about the demise of Russia's Luna-25, which crashed into the moon's surface after spinning into uncontrolled orbit. India's Vikram robotic lander is due to touch down a few hundred miles from Russia's targeted site - within the lunar south pole - on Wednesday, according to ISRO."Thanks for the wishes and positivity!", which may be using cookies and other technologies.
