Meanwhile, all eyes are on Chandrayaan-3, India’s lunar mission, as the lander is set to land on the moon 6.04 pm on Wednesday.
With the success of Chandrayaan-3, India will join the Soviet Union, the US and China, the countries that managed to make successful moon landings.
Chandrayaan-3 entered the lunar orbit on August 5. Orbit reduction manoeuvres were carried out on August 6,9, 14 and 16. The crucial and significant separation of the Lander Module from the propulsion module took place on August 17.
The primary objectives of Chandrayaan-3 mission are threefold--to demonstrate safe and soft landing on lunar surface, to demonstrate rover roving on the moon, and to conduct in-situ scientific experiments.
