The Chandrayaan-3 mission has been smooth so far. The spacecraft launched on July 14 and successfully entered lunar orbit on Aug. 5. On Aug. 17, Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander separated from its propulsion module, setting the stage for Wednesday's touchdown try.

That attempt will come near the lunar south pole, which is thought to be rich in water ice. No probe has ever explored this region on the ground, though Chandrayaan-3 won't be the first to give it a shot. Russia's Luna-25 lander crashed on Saturday (Aug. 19) while performing an engine burn designed to set up a Monday (Aug. 21) landing try.

If Vikram sticks its landing on Wednesday, it will deploy a small rover named Pragyan onto the gray dirt. The two robots will then study their surroundings for about one lunar daytime (roughly 14 Earth days), using a variety of science instruments.
