Indian Lunar Mission Is Going Strong, Preparing Its Approach for a Wednesday Soft Landing on the Moon’s South Pole

All eyes are on India now, as the Asian giant is less than 48 hours away of fulfilling a dream with Chandrayaan-3: becoming the fourth nation to ever soft-land a spacecraft on the surface of the Moon, and more – becoming the first to do it in the mineral and ice-water rich south pole of the Earth’s satellite.

Chandrayaan is a Sanskrit word which can be translated as ‘Moon Vehicle’ or ‘Moon Craft’. And that’s what it is. After a deceleration maneuver, which the Indian space agency (ISRO) calls “de-boosting”, the craft will run internal checks, and wait for the sun to be shining at the chosen landing site. The descent is expected to commence on August 23, 2023, around 5:45pm IST (Indian Standard Time), 7:45am ET.

Street in Donetsk named after murdered journalist

Darya Dugina, the daughter of a prominent Russian philosopher, was killed in a Ukrainian terrorist attack last year

The Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) has named a street after Darya Dugina, a Russian journalist killed in a car bombing in Moscow a year ago, the acting head of the region has confirmed.

Writing on his Telegram channel on Sunday, Denis Pushilin called Dugina a “fearless and active” young woman and a “true Russian patriot,” whose life was cut short by the “criminal Kiev regime” as they were afraid of the truth that she was spreading.

“She is one of us,” stressed Pushilin, noting that Dugina visited the republic multiple times, and sharing a photograph of her standing beside a school that was destroyed by a Ukrainian missile.

“In memory of Darya Dugina, we decided to name a street after her. Now in Donetsk, Darya Dugina Street passes next to the park named after the first Head of the Donetsk People's Republic Alexander Zakharchenko,” the acting DPR chief said.

On August 20 last year, the daughter of Russian philosopher Aleksandr Dugin was returning home from a family gathering, driving her father’s SUV, when a bomb went off, killing her instantly.
