Chandrayaan-3 Updates: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully lowered the orbit of the mission's lander module, which means it is now anticipated to touch down on the surface of the Moon at 6.04 p.m. on August 23. The world is anxiously awaiting India's historic moment.
The ISRO said on X (formerly Twitter) that "the soft landing of Chandrayaan-3 is a monumental moment that not only fuels curiosity but also sparks a passion for exploration within the minds of our youth."
This important development comes after the lander's final and second deboosting phase, which was successfully completed on Sunday. Before making the final touchdown, the lander will now go through internal inspections and watch for dawn at the planned landing spot.
