India’s third lunar mission Chandrayaan 3 will attempt a soft landing near the little-explored south side of the Moon. Chandrayan 3′ lander Vikram, which also carries a rover inside it, will begin its power descent at around 5:47 pm IST.
It will take 17 minutes to reach the Moon’s surface. If successful, India will be only the fourth country to land a probe on the lunar surface. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will broadcast the landing of Chandrayaan 3 on its official website and YouTube channel.
As India witnessed the remarkable feat of reaching the moon, here are the live updates:
