The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has officially confirmed that its upcoming lunar endeavour, Chandrayaan 3, is poised to achieve a momentous milestone on August 23, 2023, at approximately 18:04 IST (6:04 PM), when the lander module of Chandrayaan 3 is scheduled to make its touchdown on the lunar surface.
The second and conclusive deboosting manoeuvre was carried out with precision yesterday, resulting in a successful adjustment of the Lunar Module’s orbit to dimensions measuring 25 km by 134 km.

The moon landing endeavour follows closely on the heels of Russia’s Luna-25 mission, which regrettably met with an untimely end due to a crash during its approach to the lunar surface. The Russian space agency cited that the spacecraft entered an unforeseen spin, leading to an uncontrolled trajectory that ultimately culminated in an impact on the moon’s surface.
Contrasting this, ISRO maintains resolute confidence in the successful landing of the Vikram lander. The design philosophy behind Vikram Lander is centred around a resilient system that acknowledges and learns from failures. The engineering team’s steadfast assurance rests in their assertion that even in the event of a software anomaly akin to the setback faced by Chandrayaan-2, the lander is primed to navigate these challenges and achieve a successful touchdown.
