Indian landing module ready for touchdown on moon surface

Indian landing module ready for touchdown on moon surfaceThe landing module of India's unmanned moon mission separated from the orbiter on Monday ahead of its planned touchdown on the moon's south polar region this weekend, the space agency said. All the systems of the orbiter and the lander are "healthy," the Indian Space Research Organization said in a statement. Monday's maneuver removed the lander from the orbiter's top, where it had been sitting since the mission took off from southern India on July 22.
