India’s Moon Victory Inspires Japan; JAXA Ready To Shoot ‘Moon Sniper’ In Space

Japan is all set for its lunar mission Moon Sniper that is due for launch on August 28. JAXA – Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency – has one of the world’s biggest space programs but is yet to land a spacecraft on the moon. Japan’s moonshot comes in wake of India’s historic Chandrayaan-3 which soft-landed on the Moon’s south pole on August 23, becoming the fourth country to kiss the lunar surface. #chandrayaan3 #moonsniper #japan #jaxa #japanmoonmission #isro #nasa #chandrayaan3landing Hindustan Times Videos bring you news, views and explainers about current issues in India and across the globe.
