On August 11, a Soyuz rocket successfully launched Russia’s Luna 25 Moon lander, almost 47 years after the former Soviet Union returned lunar samples with Luna 24.
I don't understand how the Luna-25 can have a total Launch weight of 1750 kg and almost reach the moon in a WEEK in a rather minimal trajectory (last minute glitch notwithstanding) half-swing around the earth to go and half swing around the moon to land, but the Chandrayaan-3 has a much heavier launch mass 3900kg, but take more than a month to get to the moon? What is CHandrayaan doing with all that mass?
