Chandrayaan-3

Hindalco Industries adds another layer through its subsidiary Hindalco Almex Aerospace Ltd.

This unit produces high-strength aluminum for aircraft structures and space systems like Chandrayaan-3.

Revenue grew by approximately 26.5% in fiscal year 26 but profit margins declined slightly due to higher interest expenses.

Since the subsidiary is unlisted, growth here dilutes into the broader parent company performance unless it becomes significant relative to other operations.

China has expanded its space station and lunar exploration efforts.

India achieved a robotic landing near the moon's south polar region with Chandrayaan-3.

Japan has demonstrated precision lunar landing technology, while European nations continue developing launch vehicles, science missions, and satellite services.

Cooperation often exists beside competition.

Liberalization from 2018 onward had, in his view, lowered barriers for private companies in reaching government officials, researchers, and relevant institutions.

Akash Sinha, chief executive of Omnipresent Robot Technologies, described the role Indian startups have taken on in technically demanding missions, pointing to Chandrayaan-3 as one example.

His company contributed to lunar surface navigation technology for the Pragyan rover.

To travel safely, the rover needed to construct a three-dimensional picture of surrounding terrain, a challenge made harder by the moon's lack of color variation, which ordinarily helps differentiate landforms.

Anyway, the, the good news is they learned.

Uh, in August, the Indians, the Indian space program Chandrayaan-3 successfully does a soft landing of their lander on the, near the Moon's south pole.

This will be the only fourth country to ever land on the Moon, the first being the Americans, well, actually the Russian, the Soviet Union, then the Americans, and then China.

But now India was up there as well, and also the first to land anywhere near the south pole.

Analyzing this water could also give us crucial information about the moon, our solar system, and even the Earth.

As for the Indians, their Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft comprises of three main components, a propulsion module, a lander and a rover.

Thus far, it's completed much of its primary objective by carrying out thermal, seismological and mineral tests.

Unfortunately, after a few days of operation and being put into sleep, it seems like there's been some trouble waking the rover up from sleep.

So technically, it would be in the South Pole on Earth, but not on the Moon.

Tzu Yen speaks, quote, It's wrong.

The landing site of Chandrayaan-3 is not at the Lunar South Pole, not in the Lunar South Pole region, nor is it near the Lunar South Pole region.

The Indian Space Agency hasn't responded at the time of writing.
