India embarked on Friday, July 14, in a new attempt for an unmanned landing on the Moon. The Chandrayaan-3 rocket left the ground and soared through the Earth’s atmosphere. The objective is to land a mobile robot to explore the surface of our satellite. If the mission is crowned with success, the most populous country in the world, which has more than 1.4 billion inhabitants, will join the very exclusive club of countries that have succeeded in a controlled moon landing, namely Russia, the United States and China.
This mission confirms India’s great ambitions in this area. Since the launch of a probe into orbit around the Moon in 2008, India’s space program has grown considerably. In 2014, India thus became the first Asian country to put a satellite in orbit around Mars and, three years later, to launch 104 satellites in a single mission. By next year, the Asian giant should launch a three-day manned mission in orbit around the Earth.
