As the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) Chandrayaan-3 mission gets closer to achieving something historic by landing on the moon, wishes and prayers are pouring in from all over the country.
Arvind Kejriwal, the Chief Minister of Delhi, mentioned that he's praying for the successful landing of ISRO's moon mission and expressed his happiness about it.
Mamata Banerjee, the Chief Minister of West Bengal, said that the Chandrayaan-3 mission is a source of pride for the entire nation and urged everyone to support its successful landing.
Jyotiraditya Scindia, a Union Minister, highlighted that India's experts and scientists have created history through their efforts, crediting Prime Minister Modi's leadership for enabling this achievement.
Surendra Pal Singh, a senior scientist, emphasized that thorough checks have been conducted before the landing attempt. He expressed hope that Chandrayaan-3 will not only make history for India but for all of humanity.
Chandrayaan-3, India's third lunar exploration mission, was launched on July 14 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. It entered the lunar orbit on August 5 and is scheduled to softly land on the moon's surface on August 23.
The landing is planned for 6:04 pm on Wednesday. The Lander Module is currently working on finding a suitable landing spot. This mission is focused on the southern polar region of the moon, which has water ice that could be important for future moon missions.
After landing, the Chandrayaan-3 is expected to function for about two weeks, conducting various experiments, including analyzing the mineral composition of the lunar surface.
Shortly after landing, the Vikram lander's side panel will unfold, creating a ramp for the Pragyan rover. This rover will carry the national flag and the ISRO logo, moving at a slow speed to gather data about the moon's surface and its formation.
