Monday, September-2019 2nd- the Vikram lander successfully separated from the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter. Multiple maneuvers were then conducted to make sure the lander was in the right position to achieve a soft landing in a high plain region between the Manzinus C and Simpelius N caters (located around 70° latitude South).
This move would have made India the fourth nation in the world to land a spacecraft on the lunar surface. The landing sequence went as planned until the lander reached an altitude of 2.1 km (1.3 mi) above the surface. Unfortunately, communications with the lander was lost at that point and it is unclear whether the lander crashed. At the moment, the ISRO is analyzing data collected by the orbiter to determine what happened.

DEC-2018– China became the first country in the world to successfully launch a mission to land its spacecraft on the largely-unexplored ‘far side’ of the Moon.
The Chang’e-4 lunar probe — named after the ‘moon goddess’ in Chinese mythology — was launched on a Long March 3B rocket from the Xichang Launch Centre in China, minutes from midnight. The spacecraft is now on a month-long journey to the Moon, expected to land sometime in early January.
