India is preparing to become the first country to land a mission on the south pole of the Moon.
Chandrayaan-2 entered the Moon's orbit on 20 August, a month after take-off.
The lander it's carrying is due to make the historic touchdown on the unexplored south pole at about 20:00GMT on Friday (01:30 Indian time Saturday).
If successful, India will become only the fourth country to make a soft landing on the lunar surface, after the former Soviet Union, the US and China.
India's first Moon mission - Chandrayaan-1 in 2008 - carried out the first and most detailed search for water on the lunar surface using radars.
