A Lunar Showdown: Will Russias Luna 25 beat Indias Chandrayaan-3 to the Moon?

Russia is set to launch its Luna 25 mission to the lunar south pole on August 11. The mission will study the composition of the lunar polar regolith and the plasma and dust components of the lunar polar exosphere. Luna 25 might beat Chandrayaan-3 to the moon, even though Chandrayaan-3 was launched 4 weeks prior.
