India Moon Mission

The handout picture, released late November 14, 2008, shows the surface of the moon taken by Moon Impact Probe shortly before landing after separation from India's Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft. India rejoiced Saturday over the landing of a lunar probe on the moon's surface that vaulted the country into the league of space-faring nations like the United States, Russia and Japan.
