Chandrayaan 3 Moon Landing LIVE: Just a few hours to wait for Chandrayaan-3 mission to make history for India. The lander module of the Indian Space Research Organisation’s Chandrayaan-3 mission is all set to land on the lunar surface this evening. It is expected that the lander module of the lander Vikram and the rover Pragyan will make history by making a soft landing at the south pole of the Moon at 6.45 pm today. If this happens, India will become the first country in the world to reach the South Pole of the Moon. With this, India will become the fourth country in the world to make a ‘soft landing’ on the surface of the Moon after the US, China and the former Soviet Union. The US, the former Soviet Union and China have made ‘soft landings’ on the lunar surface, although none of these countries have made a ‘soft landing’ in the lunar south polar region. Soft landing of Chandrayaan-3 lander will take 15 to 17 minutes. Chandrayaan 3 was launched on 14 July 2023 at 2.30 pm.
Here are the live updates of Chandrayaan 3 moon landing:
ISRO has said that the module will have to undergo an internal inspection and wait for sunrise at the designated landing site. He said the process of soft-landing on the lunar surface is expected to begin at 5:45 pm on Wednesday. A day before the scheduled landing, ISRO said, “Mission is progressing as per schedule. System is being regularly checked. Smooth operation continues.

On July 14, India launched its third lunar mission – ‘Chandrayaan-3’ by a ‘Launch Vehicle Mark-III’ (LVM3) rocket carrying Rs. Launched at a cost of 600 crores. Under this mission, in its 41-day journey, the vehicle will once again attempt a ‘soft landing’ on the south polar region of the Moon, which no country has reached so far.
According to Isro officials, for landing, at an altitude of about 30 km, the lander will enter the power braking phase and ‘retro fire’ its four thruster engines to gradually decelerate and begin reaching the lunar surface. According to officials, this ensures that the lander does not crash, as the moon’s gravity also works in it.
According to Isro officials, upon reaching an altitude of about 6.8 km, only two engines will be used, the other two will be switched off, intended to give the lander ‘reverse thrust’.At an altitude of about 150- to 100-metres, the lander will deploy its sensors and cameras. The instrument will scan the surface for obstacles and then begin its descent to perform a soft-landing.
ISRO Chairman S. Somnath said that all the systems will be functional as long as the sun continues to shine. He said, “The moment the sun sets, everything will be pitch black, the temperature will be minus 180 degrees Celsius, so it is not possible for the system to continue, and we should be happy if it continues any longer. “Need. Then we can work on the system once again and we hope that will happen.
