An Indian spacecraft is blasting off  to the far side of the moon in a follow-up mission to a failed effort almost four years ago to land a rover on the lunar surface.

Chandrayaan-3, the word for “moon craft” in Sanskrit, takes off  Friday from a launch pad in southern India, along with an orbiter, a lander and a rover.

The spacecraft will land on the moon’s surface in August, following a month-long journey.

A successful landing would make India just the fourth country after the United States, the Soviet Union, and China to achieve the feat.

India’s last attempt to land a robotic spacecraft near the moon’s south pole ended in failure in 2019.
