Russian and Indian lunar landers are both scheduled to touch down 
on the lunar surface soon:

 "Luna-25 is expected to touch down north of Boguslavsky crater near
the Moon`s south pole on Aug. 21. The main scientific goal of Russia`s
first lunar mission in nearly 50 years is to confirm the existence of
water ice deposits in the polar areas."

=========================


 "The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Thursday confirmed
that the lander module of the Chandrayaan-3, which means "moon craft" in
Sanskrit, had "successfully separated" from the propulsion module."

 "The announcement came six days ahead of a planned landing slated
for August 23. If successful, India will join just three other countries
that successfully landed a spacecraft on the Moon."
