India’s space agency loses contact with craft moments before historic Moon landing attempt
INDIA has tonight lost contact with its £114million spacecraft attempting to land on the Moon's South Pole.
Before the mishap, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was at the space center in Bengaluru to witness the planned landing. A technical snag is said to have grounded the rocket on July 14, minutes ahead of its flight to the Moon's South Pole. An Israeli non-profit mission crashed into the Moon as it attempted to land on the lunar surface earlier this year.
