the first spacecraft to land near the Moon’s south pole
I’m having trouble finding specifics of the Russian “landing” - any chance they’re gonna come out and claim they made it to the South Pole first or did they miss entirely?
Is there any breakdown of the mission somewhere? All I can find is “they are looking for water”. But what are they actually doing? Scoop things up from the surface? Drill? What kind of instruments do they use? Spectroscopy? Chemical tests?
Hopefully they can finally prove the existence of moon penguins.
