India's Minister of State for Science and Technology, Jitendra Singh, has stated that there is no animosity or competition with Russia as India's Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft aims to land on the Moon's south pole. Singh highlighted the historical collaboration between the two countries, including the first Indian astronaut's trip to the Moon aboard a Russian rocket. Concerns have been raised about potential clashes between the signals of Luna-25 and Chandrayaan-3, but Singh assured that they are following different routes and estimated that they would be about 400 km apart upon landing. The design of Chandrayaan-3 has taken into account the lessons learned from the Chandrayaan-2 mission.
