Chandrayaan-3 landing: For anyone who followed the Chandrayaan-2 mission closely, the scene of former ISRO Chairman K Sivan breaking down and Prime Minister Narendra Modi consoling him would be as vivid as four years ago.
Fawad Chaudhry, the former minister of Pakistan’s Information and Broadcasting Ministry in the Imran Khan-led government, took to X to congratulate Indian scientists, people and the space community on the lunar mission.
Chandrayaan 3 Live updates: Vikram’s landing will be attempted a little after 6pm on August 23. If it pulls it off, India will join an elite list, becoming the fourth nation to manage a soft-landing on Moon. It will join US, Russia, and China. Russia’s Luna-25 mission recently failed to make a landing on lunar surface.
