Chandrayaan-3 landing: 17 minutes of terror for ISRO scientists

[ad_1] India's historic Moon mission, Chandrayaan-3, is set to touch down on the lunar South Pole today, August 23, at 6:04 PM IST. After the failure of Russia's Luna-25 mission which had similar ambitions, the world's eyes are on India. The mission, launched by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), has three objectives - to carry out a safe and soft landing on the lunar surface, show the rover's roving capabilities, and conduct in-situ scientific experiments. However, two of them can only be achieved if the Vikram lander successfully touches down, and before that, it would have to pass through a 17-minute window of “terror”.Chandrayaan-3: 17 minutes of terrorSpeaking to ANI, the director of the Space Applications Center (SAC) at ISRO said that the last 17 minutes before the la...
