However, the accident with the Russian probe, which crashed into the lunar surface yesterday when all indications were that it would land two days before Chandrayaan-3, it paved the way for the Indian ship to be the first to achieve this feat.
If it lands successfully this time, the Indian probe, which consists of a lander and a rover, will conduct science experiments and data on the mineral composition of the satellite and the presence of water in this part of the moon.
