North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is traveling slowly through Russia’s far east on his specially equipped train to meet with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for the first time since 2019.
The failure of Russia s Luna-25 spacecraft to land near the south pole of the moon is a setback for its collaboration with China to establish a joint base, part of a bid to challenge the US and its space allies. Wu Yanhua, the chief designer of Chinas major deep space exploration project, led a delegation to the Vostochny Cosmodrome in Russia to attend the failed launch in September 2022 and discuss deepening cooperation between the two countries space programmes. Meanwhile, India s Chandrayaan-3 launched last month is scheduled to attempt a landing at the lunar south pole as early as Wednesday.
