ns get back to the lunar surface.

Other missions in 2022 plan to orbit the moon, particularly the Nasa Artemis-1 mission, a crucial uncrewed test of the American hardware that is to carry astronauts back to the moon. South Korea could also launch its first lunar orbiter later this year.India was planning to make its second robotic moon landing attempt this year. But its Chandrayaan-3 mission was delayed to mid-2023, said Mr K. Sivan, who completed his term as the chairman of the country's space agency this month.

The moon landing would come three to four months later as the mission uses a lengthy lunar trajectory to save fuel and maximise the amount of cargo the M1 lander can carry along.
