After the success of Chandrayaan-3, Japan's space agency is set to launch a lander and an X-ray mission on the lunar surface on Monday. The lander, which has been named "Moon Sniper" in Japanese, will enter the Moon's orbit three-four months after launch. The Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency's goal of sending Moon Sniper is to achieve a small-scale lightweight probe system.
