BBC World Service - World Business Report, India lands on the Moon

India makes first-ever south pole Moon landing

India Moon mission lander Vikram makes historic lunar south pole landing just days after Russia’s mission crashed into the lunar surface.

India makes history by becoming the first nation to land near the Moon's south pole. One of the mission's major goals is to hunt for water-based ice, which scientists say could support human habitation on the Moon in future.
