The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) confirmed that the historic touchdown of the Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon's South Pole is on schedule and that the systems are undergoing regular checks this Tuesday.ISRO also shared images of the Moon captured on Saturday by the Lander Position Detection Camera (LPDC) from an altitude of about 70 km.A senior ISRO scientist and director of Ahmedabad-based Space Applications Centre, , Nilesh M. Desai, told an Indian news agency on Monday that they were hopeful that the landing would take place as per schedule. However, if any factors appeared to be unfavorable, they would postpone the landing to August 27, a decision that will be made two hours before the landing.After the previous Chandrayaan-2 crash-landed on the moon, ISRO claims to have taken all corrective measures like strengthening the legs of the Vikram lander and performing rigorous testing with it to ensure they achieve success in soft-landing.The ISRO successfully launched the Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission on July 14, which plans to deploy a cutting-edge rover, an indigenously developed lander called the Vikram, and a propulsion module, that will carry out groundbreaking experiments on the Moon's surface.Post-landing, the six-wheeled rover will roll out to conduct experiments on the Moon's surface for 14 days.If successful, the landing would make India the fourth country to achieve this feat, other than the United States, Russia, and China.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will live telecast the landing of the third lunar mission Chandrayaan 3 that is expected to touch down on the Moon's South Pole on August 23 at around 6:04 pm (Indian time).

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) confirmed that the historic touchdown of the Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon's South Pole is on schedule and that the systems are undergoing regular checks this Tuesday.

ISRO also shared images of the Moon captured on Saturday by the Lander Position Detection Camera (LPDC) from an altitude of about 70 km.

However, if any factors appeared to be unfavorable, they would postpone the landing to August 27, a decision that will be made two hours before the landing.

After the previous Chandrayaan-2 crash-landed on the moon, ISRO claims to have taken all corrective measures like strengthening the legs of the Vikram lander and performing rigorous testing with it to ensure they achieve success in soft-landing.

The ISRO successfully launched the Chandrayaan-3 lunar mission on July 14, which plans to deploy a cutting-edge rover, an indigenously developed lander called the Vikram, and a propulsion module, that will carry out groundbreaking experiments on the Moon's surface.

Post-landing, the six-wheeled rover will roll out to conduct experiments on the Moon's surface for 14 days.
