New Delhi: Country’s third lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 is set to land on the moon today around 6:04 PM. It will embark upon the most difficult phase of its journey when the velocity of the lander will be reduced and descent will be initiated from a distance of around 25 kms over the Moon. Considered the most challenging part, the lander Vikram with Rover Pragyan will endure the most adverse conditions on Moon.
However, the touchdown will create history as India will become the first country to land near the South Pole and the fourth country to soft-land on the surface of the Moon.
