The lunar south pole has become a prime target for space exploration due to its vast reserves of water ice, a resource with immense potential for future missions. While NASA's Artemis 3 and China's Chang'e 7 have plans to explore the region, India's Chandrayaan-3 recently marked its spot by landing there on Aug. 23. This water ice is not just vital for supporting life but can also be converted into rocket fuel, a game-changer for deep-space endeavors. Additionally, it offers a rich geological record, enhancing our understanding of lunar history. However, this valuable resource sits in rugged, shadowy terrains, making landing attempts highly challenging, as demonstrated by Russia's recent Luna-25 mission mishap.
