The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is preparing for the landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon s southern pole. This region is scientifically significant due to potential water ice deposits and unique geological features. The mission aims to uncover information about the Moon s geological history and the early evolution of our solar system. The event is scheduled for August 23rd and can be watched live on the ISRO website, YouTube, and Facebook.
Chandrayaan-3 Moon Landing Live Updates, August 22: If the mission is successfully completed, India will become the fourth country to master the technology of soft-landing on the lunar surface after the US, China and the erstwhile Soviet Union.
ISRO is trying to make a soft landing of its lander ‘Vikram’ in the Chandrayaan-3 mission near the south pole in the dark side of the Moon. ISRO’s earlier attempt under ‘Chandrayaan-2’ suffered a communication problem that led to hard crash of the lander on the Moon’s surface.
