why is it so impressive that India landed on the South side of the Moon?
In: 7033
The Russian Luna-25 spacecraft that attempted this exact landing crashed a few days ago.
From what I can gather, it’s an ideal site for electromagnetic transmissions to Earth. This means they’re able to expend less energy in communication.
The South Pole is also said to have areas that are permanently covered in darkness making it likely there’s still ice. The hope is to be able to extract this and another raw elements/materials they may find with a view to making it a base for future space exploration
