“No One Travels to Space Alone”: ISRO’s Shubhanshu Shukla Bids Heartfelt Farewell for Wife Before Historic Spaceflight
Shukla became the first ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation) astronaut to board the International Space Station.
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.
