Chandrayaan-3 vs Luna-25: Race against time

The Chandrayaan-3 mission from India and Russia's Luna-25 missions are two ambitious lunar expeditions set to explore the largely uncharted south-polar region of the Moon. The primary objective of Chandrayaan-3 is to safely land near the challenging terrain of the moon's southern polar region, conduct scientific experiments, and collect data about the moon's composition. This mission is a crucial stepping stone for ISRO's future interplanetary missions.

On the other hand, Luna-25, Russia's first lunar mission since 1976, aims to study the composition of the lunar polar regolith and the plasma and dust components of the lunar polar exosphere. The Luna-25 mission is expected to operate on the lunar surface for approximately one year, significantly longer than Chandrayaan-3's planned two-week operation period.

Despite their shared objectives, these missions differ significantly in their strategies, timelines, and research goals. While Chandrayaan-3 focuses on demonstrating safe landings and conducting on-site scientific experiments, Luna-25 aims to analyse lunar soil and exosphere. Regardless of which mission lands first, both will contribute significantly to our understanding of the Moon and potentially aid in planning future lunar missions.
