Prime Minister Narendra Modi is currently in South Africa to build stronger relations of India with the country. He discussed defence, trade, and investment linkages with President Cyril Ramaphosa.
According to current reports, PM Modi will be witnessing the Chandrayaan-3 landing event virtually from South Africa.
The touchdown of Chandrayaan-3 is expected to take place on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, at 6.04 PM. The rover will begin its descent in a couple of hours, and Indians are waiting for ISRO to create history.
Around 5.45 pm, the Mission Operations Complex (MOX) at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Network (ISTRAC) in Bengaluru, has decided to initiate the powered descent of the lander module.
If the lander experiences no troubles, it will touch the surface of the moon exactly 19 minutes later at 6.04 pm.
