Day after Luna-25 crash, India space agency says lander trying to find area without boulders or deep trenches.
Isro said on Sunday that the lander module had been successfully lowered into an orbit closer to the Moon and is now waiting for the lunar Sun-rise to land.
The third in India's programme of lunar exploration, Chandrayaan-3 is expected to build on the success of its earlier Moon missions. Chandrayaan-2 - which also comprised an orbiter, a lander and a rover - was launched in July 2019 but it was only partially successful. Its orbiter continues to circle and study the Moon even today, but the lander-rover failed to make a soft landing and crashed during touchdown.
