Chandrayaan-3 Live updates: 'Historic movement for a developed India'
Catch the live updates of historic Chandrayaan-3 moon landing with DT Next.
CHENNAI: Chandrayaan-3 targets to make a landing close to where the second one attempted. The mission could make India the fourth country to make a soft landing after US, China, and the erstwhile Soviet Union, and the first country to make its presence on the Moon's south polar region, justifying the fervent prayers that are being made across the nation for the mission's success.
The Chandrayaan-3 is poised to make its historic touchdown on the Lunar surface, marking a pivotal moment for India's space exploration endeavours.
It all comes down to final 15 minutes, when the Lander Module carries out a technical manoeuvre, and transfers its high-speed horizontal position to a vertical one in order to facilitate a gentle descent on to the surface.
