India's Chandrayaan-3 Advances' Russia's Luna-25 Faces Moon Mission Hurdle

On Sunday (August 20), ISRO said the Vikram Lander of Chandrayaan-3 did its second deboosting well. It's now at a 25km x 134km orbit. Before this, on August 18, the Lander did its first deboosting. Chandrayaan-3 is planning to go down to the moon at 5:45 pm on August 23. Russia's Luna-25 Moon Mission Has a Problem: Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft, trying to get to the moon, faced some problems on Saturday. This spacecraft, which launched on August 10, was trying to get close to the moon, just like India's Chandrayaan-3. But, Russia said there was an "unusual problem" with Luna-25 when it was getting into its moon orbit.
