Chandrayaan 3, India's moon mission took flight on July 14 with the aim to make a smooth landing on the Lunar surface. It's the third mission by ISRO to study the moon and the ongoing mission is built with the learnings from the previous failed mission. Till now the spacecraft is going strong and has successfully entered the moon's orbit. The landing date is expected to be on August 24. Check recent updates on Chandrayaan 3 and how close the spacecraft is to the moon's surface.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is closely monitoring the spacecraft. It is slowly getting closer to the moon's surface as on August 1, the spacecraft entered the translunar orbit. On August 5, Chandrayaan 3 entered the lunar orbit and since then it moved forward gradually and reduced the orbit with a series of manoeuvres.
Earlier, on August 9, ISRO reported that the craft is close to the moon's surface by 174 km x 1437 km. Today, August 14, it was planned to conduct another manoeuvre reduction between 11:30 am and 12:30 pm IST. The operation was successfully completed and the spacecraft is even closer now. According to a Mint report, the national space agency announced that the spacecraft has now achieved a "near-circular orbit" around the moon.
Now, another orbit reduction is planned for August 16 around 8:30 am. With each major manoeuvre, the spacecraft is getting closer to the moon and is all set to make history soon.
However, Russia's Luna-25 spacecraft, which had taken flight on August 11, is on the way to land on the moon on the same day as Chandrayaan 3. There were no complications reported so far on the landing of both spacecraft. Chandrayaan 3 mission is to stay on the moon for 1 lunar day (14 Earth days) and Luna-25 will study the moon for a whole year.

Chandrayaan-3 has proved India's capability for cost-effective space missions, said Union Minister of State for Space Jitendra Singh.
Yesterday, India inked its name in the pages of history by becoming the fourth nation to successfully land on the Moon, and the first country to reach its South Pole after successfully navigating the Chandrayaan-3's Vikram Lander to the lunar surface. However, reaching the Moon was only half the task; the real work begins now. Both the Pragyan rover and the Vikram lander will now begin conducting their own set of investigations and analyze the structural composition of the Moon. And the Pragyan rover is all set to do that after having taken its first steps on the lunar surface.
It took India about four years, and one heartbreak to launch the Chandrayaan-3 mission on July 14, 2023. It was not easy after the Chandrayaan-2 Landing Module crashed onto the lunar surface in the very final stages. Perhaps, the fears were even higher this time around after Russia's Luna-25 mission met a similar fate just days ago. But the Indian spacecraft continued against all odds and succeeded. The country is now the 4th nation in the world to land on the lunar surface, and the first country in the world to reach the South Pole of the Moon. But none of it would have been possible without the shrewd tech upgrades made by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
Chandrayaan-3 lander made history on Wednesday as it effected a successful touchdown near the South Pole of the Moon, With this mission, India also became the fourth nation in the world to touch down on the lunar surface, after the US, Russia, and China. But notably, India has become the first country to land near the lunar South Pole. The world's eyes were on India, especially after the failure of Russia's Luna-25 just days before, and it did not disappoint as the Chandrayaan-3 Vikram lander touched down on the Moon's surface at 6:04 PM IST.
In a groundbreaking achievement, India has secured its place in history as the first nation to successfully land a spacecraft near the Moon's South Pole. This remarkable feat not only marks a significant milestone for the world's most populous nation, but also highlights the prowess of its ambitious, cost-effective space program.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is gearing up for the Automatic Landing Sequence (ALS) of Chandrayaan-3's Vikram lander on the lunar South Pole. The powered descent commenced at approximately 5:44 pm IST, and lasted around 20 minutes, during which the Vikram lander will go through four critical phases before touching down.
India's Chandrayaan-3, which launched on July 14 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre Second Launch Pad in Sriharikota, is India's second attempt to touch down on the Moon, following the last-minute failure of the Chandrayaan-2 mission. The GSLV Mark 3 launch vehicle, named ‘Bahubali', carried the hopes and dreams of 140 crore Indians as it made a 3.84 lakh kilometer journey to the Moon, which took approximately 42 days. The propulsion module successfully separated from the lander module on August 17, and it will continue in its orbit, carrying out its own series of experiments.
Chandrayaan-3 is just a few minutes away from creating history. It is scheduled for touchdown on the Soth Pole of the Moon at 6:04 pm IST. In this long journey, there have been various contributors and collaborators who are working day and night to make ISRO's Chandrayaan-3 moon mission a success, and among them are NASA and ESA space agencies.
With the highly anticipated landing of Chandrayaan-3 on the Moon scheduled for Wednesday, Indian-American astronaut Sunita Williams has expressed her excitement and anticipation for the event.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly developing field that has an impact in almost every sector. From education, healthcare, and banking to manufacturing and entertainment, AI is propelling efficiency, and increasing productivity with automation. Its impact can be seen in the space race as well, with the world's top space organizations incorporating it into their missions. India's Chandrayaan-3, which is set to make a historic landing on the lunar South Pole later today, is also utilizing this technology in various stages of its third Moon mission.
India is on the verge of a historic achievement as its third lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3, prepares for a soft and successful landing on the Moon's south polar region at approximately 6:04 pm today, August 23. In the event of adverse conditions, an ISRO scientist mentioned that the landing might be rescheduled to August 27. However, ISRO has expressed confidence that the lander will likely encounter no issues today.
