Chandrayaan 2 will land on the south pole of the moon exactly 4 days from today. With this, ISRO will become the first research agency in the world to successfully land a space shuttle on this untouched south pole of the moon. This will be a major achievement not only for ISRO but also for India. India will be included in the list of selected countries that have done soft landing on the lunar surface. Before India, only America, China, and Russia have successfully landed on the lunar surface.
