    Yes India did same thing as Israel. Both were constrained by the payload available (Israel's was a secondary payload on falcon 9 to cut cost, whereas india used PSLV and GSLV which do not have requisite heavy payload capability for large orbit thruster that can do one direct burn).

    Yes this is essentially correct. A hard landing is where you just impact the surface like bullet to earthen backstop. Science for that can be rather limited...you can do spectroscopy during the descent, or you can remote sense the impact event itself (for ejecta analysis from orbit). Carrying...
