The mission is India’s second attempt to land at the lunar south pole after Chandrayaan-2 crashed into the moon in September 2019.

The SpaceX capsule transported the AX-2 crew back to Earth after a weeklong mission at the International Space Station. Axiom is one of several US companies gunning to create a new, privately owned space station.

Elon Musk's re-usable rocket maker and satellite internet company, SpaceX, is raising $750 million in a new round of funding that values the company at $137 billion, according to correspondence obtained by CNBC. Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that SpaceX was allowing insiders to sell at $77 per share, which would have put the company's valuation near $140 billion. The company raised more than $2 billion in 2022, including a $250 million round in July, and was valued at $127 billion during an equity round in May, CNBC previously reported. According to an e-mail sent to prospective SpaceX investors, Andreessen Horowitz (also known as a16z) will likely lead the new funding round. A16z also participated in Elon Musk's leveraged buyout of Twitter, a $44 billion deal that closed in late October 2022.

Rusia a lansat luni de pe cosmodromul Baikonur din Kazahstan o rachetă Soyuz a cărei lansare a fost amânată de două ori din cauza unor probleme tehnice, informează AFP, citează Agerpres. Racheta Soyuz-2.1 a fost lansată cu succes la ora 06:07 GMT, potrivit imaginilor transmise în direct de agenţia spaţială rusă, Roscomos. Programată iniţial sâmbătă, lansarea a fost amânată prima dată pentru duminică, apoi pentru luni. Potrivit directorului agenţiei spaţiale ruse, Dmitri Rogozin, prima amânare a fost decisă din cauza unei "supratensiuni" detectate cu puţin timp înainte de lansare şi "pentru a nu risca". A doua amânare a fost stabilită după descoperirea unei "disfuncţionalităţi tehnice", potrivit Roscosmos.
