Indian team selected to land a spacecraft on moon
Bengaluru-based 'TeamIndus' is among the five international finalists for a $20-million award (approximately ₹136 crore) by Google Lunar XPRIZE. To win, a privately-funded team must land a robot on the moon that travels at least 500 metres and sends high-definition video and images back to Earth. TeamIndus has taken a contract from ISRO to launch its unmanned spacecraft.
