Chandrayaan 3 LIVE Updates: ‘Landing may get postponed only if conditions are not favourable,’ says ISRO
Chandrayaan-3 Live Updates: ISRO will livestream the soft landing from 5.20pm on Wednesday, as the scheduled time for the landing is 6.04 pm.
Chandrayaan-3 Live Updates: The highly anticipated landing time of India's third edition of the lunar mission series is less than 48 hours away – scheduled for Wednesday at 6.04 pm. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has also announced that a live telecast is planned for the event, starting at 5.20 pm on that day.

On Monday, Chandrayaan-3's Lander Module established two-way communication with the already present Chandrayaan-2's orbiter – the second edition of the lunar mission series, launched in 2019 for the purpose of achieving a ‘soft landing’ on the Moon's south pole. However, it could not successfully touch down on the lunar surface and lost communication after
reaching an altitude as close as 2.1 km.
Meanwhile, a senior ISRO scientist was quoted by a news agency ANI on Monday, saying, “If any factors appear to be unfavourable, then we will postpone the module's landing on the Moon to August 27.”

Chandrayaan 3 live updates: Did ISRO say something on postponing the landing? Yes! Read here
• After Chandrayaan-2 faced a failure for a soft landing on Moon in 2019, ISRO officials this time has planned a better version – Chandrayaan-3 – of it with all the steps that were carried out so far in place leading to a safer landing on Moon this time.
• However, the ISRO team said that the planned landing may get postponed if there are conditions “unfavourable” and the backup date has been fixed as August 27.

Chandrayaan-3 Live Updates: Learning from the failure of Chandrayaan-2
Chandrayaan-3 will be manoeuvred into a vertical position through a series of steps, aiming for a safe lunar landing. This step is vital due to ISRO's previous failure to successfully land its lander on the Moon's surface in the Chandrayaan-2 mission.
“The ability to transfer from horizontal to vertical direction is the trick we have to play here. Here only we had the problem last time,” ISRO Chief S Somanath said.

Chandrayaan-3 LIVE Updates: ISRO chief explains the most critical phase of the lunar mission
Chandrayaan-3 has to decrease its speed from about 1.68km/s (6,048km/hr) horizontally, changing direction to make the craft vertical and finally bringing it to zero after making a soft landing on the lunar surface, “this is the most critical task,” said the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chief S Somanath. The lander's touchdown test limit is only ≤ 3.0 m/sec (10.8km/hr) vertical velocity.

Chandrayaan-3 Live Updates: Lander Module's latest update? It has rendezvoused with Chandrayaan 2!
• Chandrayaan-3's Lander Module established two-way communication with the orbiter of the already present Chandrayaan-2 orbiter around the Moon, as it embarks on the historic “soft-landing” on the lunar surface, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said.
• Chandrayaan-2 is the previous edition of India's lunar mission which was launched in 2019, whose lander however lost the communication even after the successful orbit and de-orbit manoeuvers towards the Moon.

Chandrayaan-3 Live Updates: When did this lunar mission begin its journey from Earth?
• Chandrayaan-3 was launched on July 14 this year, in a LVM3 M4 vehicle towards Moon, and the first orbit-raising maneuver (Earthbound firing-1) successfully performed on July 15.
• Then the major five manoeuvres around the moon were completed on August 16 after which the Propulsion Module and Lander Module were seperated on August 17.
• On August 18, deboosting process was successfully completed bring Lander Module to a distance of 113 km from the Moon's surface.

Chandrayaan-3 Live Updates: Soft landing tomorrow. How many days will the lander and rover
• Following a soft landing on Wednesday, the lander Vikram and rover Pragyan of the Lander Module will explore the surface of the Moon in south pole for about 14- Earth days which is just one-lunar day.
• Currently the Lander Module of Chandrayaan-3 is trying ot spot a perfect landing site on the lunar surface which will lead to a historic landing on the unexplored side of the Moon.

• Lander Vikram is moving closer to Moon and is all set for a soft landing on Wednesday at 6.04 pm. Payloads will then be deployed on to the Moon's surface to measuring temperature and thermal conductivity, to measure seismic activity and other explorations.
• Meanwhile, rover Pragyan will also have payloads to determine the elements in the landing site's vicinity.

Chandrayaan-3 Live Updates: What may lead to a crash landing? ISRO official explains…
• Amid high expectations of Chandrayaan-3's soft landing on the Moon's surface, news agency ANI quoted an ISRO official on Tuesday, saying that a “crash landing” is likely when the speed of the lander is not controlled. As it goes down to touch the lunar surface, the reduction of speed plays an important role along with the consideration of Moon's gravitational force.
•"The lander will try to land on the Moon's surface from a height of 30 km on August 23, and its velocity at that time will be 1.68 km/sec. Our focus will be on reducing that speed because Moon's gravitational force will also play its part. If we don't control that speed, there will be chances of crash landing. If any health parameter (of the lander module) is found abnormal on August 23, then we will postpone the landing to August 27," says Nilesh Desai, Director of Space Applications Centre-ISRO said.

Chandrayaan-3 Live Updates: Vikram lander and Pragyan rover to explore Moon's surface. Details here
• Lander Vikram: Payloads here are Chandra’s Surface Thermophysical Experiment (ChaSTE) for measuring temperature and thermal conductivity. Another payload, the Instrument for Lunar Seismic Activity (ILSA), will measure seismic activity around the landing site. The Langmuir Probe (LP) will estimate plasma density and changes. A passive Laser Retroreflector Array from NASA will be used for lunar laser studies.
• Rover Pragyan: Payloads here are an Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) and a Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscope (LIBS) to determine the elements in the landing site's vicinity.

Chandrayaan-3 Live Updates: Take a look at India's lunar mission series
Chandrayaan-3 Live Updates: The current mission is the third edition of lunar exploration series by India and the previous one – Chandrayaan-2 – was launched in 2019. Take a look at what happened to these spacecrafts now:
India's lunar exploration program began in 2008 when the first edition of the mission – Chandrayaan-1 – was launched. It orbited the Moon at a height of 100 km from the lunar surface, conducting chemical, mineralogical, and photo-geologic mapping of the Moon. Later, on August 29, 2009, Chandrayaan-1 lost communication.
The second edition of the Moon mission series was launched in 2019 with much more complex expectations than the previous one, aiming to place it on the south pole of the Moon. However after completing all the orbiting and de-orbiting manoeuvres, Chandrayaan-2's lander Vikaram lost contact with the ground stations.
