The Russian diplomat said that he is sure that Chandrayaan-3 will be successful. The rover will land safely on the moon. Oleg said, ‘Everyone in India and I am also eagerly waiting for tomorrow’s event in the Moon’s orbit. I am sure it will be successful for the Indian Lunar Programme. The rover will land safely and start working. I am sure this will prove to be a very useful lunar program for India. This will definitely be a great success and there will be more exploration on the moon.
In the past, Russia’s Luna-25 went out of control due to technical problems before landing. It crashed on the surface of the Moon. Luna-25 was to land on the moon before Chandrayaan-3.

On the other hand, on August 23, Chandrayaan-3 is about to land on the lunar surface at 6:04 pm. ISRO’s mission is moving towards the lunar surface. On Tuesday, the organization shared pictures of the moon taken from the Lander Imager Camera 4.
ISRO also announced that the mission is progressing as per schedule. The system is being regularly checked. This update came in the wake of a statement by ISRO Senior Scientist Nilesh M. Desai. Desai had said that the condition of the lander would be investigated. Based on that a decision will be taken on landing. If the condition of the lander is not correct, then the landing may be postponed till 27 August.
The eyes of the world will be fixed on India
After the failure of Russia’s Luna-25 mission, now the eyes of the world will be on India. The live telecast of the landing operation will begin at 5:20 pm IST on Wednesday. Live activities of the landing will be available on the ISRO website, its YouTube channel, Facebook and public broadcaster DD National TV.
India will create history by becoming the first country in the world to reach the Moon’s South Pole when the Lander Module (LM) of Chandrayaan-3 will touch down on the Moon’s surface on Wednesday evening. The lander module comprising the lander (Vikram) and the rover (Pragyan) is expected to make a soft landing near the south polar region of the Moon at 6.45 pm on Wednesday.
