World Business Report

India plans to launch a second mission to the Moon, aiming to land the Chandrayaan-2 craft in a crater, to learn more about the origins of the solar system. It comes just months after China landed a craft on the dark side of the Moon. Professor Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist from the University of Oxford, tells the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Russell Padmore how India's space agency compares with its Chinese rival. (Picture: The Moon.
