Abstract

On July 22, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched its second lunar mission, Chandrayaan-2. Meanwhile, Blue Origin founder and Amazon owner Jeff Bezos unveiled in May the Blue Moon lander, a spacecraft that can deliver up to 7 tons of cargo - and possibly crew - to the lunar surface.
