Op India  

As a part of the human quest to explore the outer space, especially Earth’s only natural satellite-Moon, numerous missions have been undertaken by various space agencies to have a deeper understanding of the familiar, yet so strange celestial object revolving around the Earth. The United States Since the late 1950s, the United States’ premier space agency-NASA has been resolutely focused on sending space missions to Moon. In the early sixties, Russia had undertaken 6 unnamed Luna projects to Moon while a mission named Luna 4- aimed to Land on Moon also failed. In 1965 alone, Kosmos 60, Unnamed Luna, Luna 5, Luna 6, Luna 7, Luna 8, all Lander mission to Moon failed, before Luna 9 touchdown on the Moon’s surface in January 1966. Chinese mission Chang’e 4 carried Yutu 2 rover on the hemisphere of the Moon that always faces away from the Earth and has one of the largest craters in the Solar System.
