Guest: Dr Chong Hon Yew, astronomer, Penang Astronomical Society

On Aug 23, 2023, Chandrayaan-3 landed on the South Pole of the Moon, making India the first nation to mark this achievement - as well as being only the fourth country to have a successful lunar mission. We talk about the significance of this, what the scientific potentials of it are, and how India managed it on a shoestring budget.
