On July 14th, 2023, India's space agency successfully launched the Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft aboard a LVM3-M4 rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The mission will be the first to land on the dark side of the moon, carrying a lunar lander and a small rover to explore the lunar surface. If successful, the mission will be a major achievement for India's space program and will further cement India's position as a major space power.
