Chandrayaan-3 will have its movements livestreamed on social media platforms and TV channels as India becomes will be the first country to ever land on the lunar south pole.
The mission was launched a little more than five weeks earlier from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh’s Sriharikota. The ‘Vikram’ lander module of the spacecraft successfully separated from the propulsion module on Thursday, and subsequently underwent crucial deboosting manoeuvres and descended to a slightly lower orbit.
