The objectives of Chandrayaan-3 are to achieve a safe and soft landing on the lunar surface, to get the rover moving on the moon, and to conduct in-situ scientific experiments.
Chandrayaan-3’s Vikram Lander has been loaded with 11 high-tech cameras. Each camera has its specific role in the landing of the Lander. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been sharing images of the moon’s surface taken from these cameras.
Ahead of the landing, the space agency said the Mission Operations Complex (MOX), located at the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC), is buzzing with energy and excitement.
Chandrayaan-3 will soft-land on the moon on Wednesday, August 23 around 6:04 pm IST. The coverage of the landing is expected to start from 5:20 pm IST when the Lander will decelerate in the lunar orbit, as per ISRO.

The South Pole of the Moon, also known as the Far Side of the Moon, is an uncharted territory.Several nations have tried to explore this particular region on the lunar south pole.
The first human-made object to touch the Moon was the Soviet Union's Luna 2, on 13 September 1959.The United States' Apollo 11 was the first crewed mission to land on the Moon, on 20 July 1969.

But even these two space giants have never landed on the Far Side of the moon. A few days back, Russia's Luna-25 attempted landing on Lunar South but unfortunately crashed due to the spacecraft's increased impulse.
If India's Chandrayaan-3 lands on this side of the moon, it can open gates to new possibilities for scientists and humans all around the world. The entire world, especially Indians, is waiting for this moment to happen with bated breath.
