Chandrayaan-3 update: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will make history today when its third lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3, successfully lands on the south pole of the moon. According to the details shared by the space agency, Chandrayaan-3 will begin landing at 17:20 IST or 5:20PM on August 23 and it will touchdown on the surface of the moon at 18:04 IST or 6:04PM. Ahead of the landing, ISRO has been constantly sharing details of the progress Vikram Lander has been making. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), ISRO said that it is set to initiate the Automatic Landing Sequence (ALS) and that the lander module should reach the designated point at around 17:44 IST or 5:44PM.

“Upon receiving the ALS command, the LM activates the throttleable engines for powered descent. The mission operations team will keep confirming the sequential execution of commands. The live telecast of operations at MOX begins at 17:20 Hrs. IST,” ISRO wrote in the post.
