This Week in Rocket Launches we have a fair few missions coming up. Japan will be doing the second test flight of its H3 rocket while SpaceX will be launching another company's lunar lander.

India has successfully landed its Chandrayaan-3 mission on the south pole of the moon making India just the fourth country to land on the natural satellite. Russia failed a moon landing recently.

We have a number of launches upcoming this week but the most interesting among them is ISRO's lunar lander mission, Chandrayaan 3. It will go to space on an LVM3 rocket and replaces Chandrayaan 2.

There are several launches planned for this week. Among them is a private mission to the Moon that was originally scheduled for last week but got delayed. There's also a recap of this week's launches.

This week, SpaceX will launch a commercial mission to the Moon. The payload is a lunar lander from iSpace, and will be carrying two rovers that will explore the surface of Earth's natural satellite.
