The much-awaited mission is about to complete its journey. Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Sunday officially announced that Chandrayaan-3 is all set to land on the moon on August 23, 2023 (Wednesday), around 18:04 IST. Notably, the spacecraft is now just 3-day away from the south pole of the moon, which is its final destination.
After making the successful soft landing on the moon, India will become the fourth country in the world to achieve the feat after the United States, Russia and China.
“Chandrayaan-3 is set to land on the moon on August 23, 2023, around 18:04 Hrs. IST. Thanks for the wishes and positivity! Let’s continue experiencing the journey together,” ISRO announced on Twitter.
It is to be noted here that Chandrayaan-3 mission marked giant leap in its lunar quest on Thursday after successful separation of the ‘Vikram’ lander module from the propulsion module, and subsequently underwent crucial deboosting manoeuvres and descended to a slightly lower orbit.
The historic event can be witnessed live on ISRO website, its YouTube channel, Facebook, and public broadcaster DD National TV from 17:27 IST on Aug 23, 2023.
Even the official YouTube is flooded with the good luck wishes and prayers for historic event.
