Chandrayaan-3 is on schedule to land on moon, system check underway

The Hindu  

Four years after its predecessor crashed on the lunar surface minutes before touch down, Chandrayaan-3’s lander module with the rover in its belly on Wednesday will once again attempt to land on the Moon at 6.04 p.m. Around 5.45 p.m., the Mission Operations Complex at ISRO Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Network, Bengaluru, will initiate the powered descent of the lander module. Mission moon Key dates in the Chandrayaan-3 mission July 14: Mission launched July 15-25: Orbit- raising manoevures around the earth August 1-5: Starts from the earth and reaches the lunar orbit separates from propulsion module August 6-16: Orbit-lowering manoeuvres around the moon August 17: Lander separates from propulsion module August 23: Powered descent to start at 5.45 pm, touchdown at 6.04 pm The complex powered descent during the Chandrayaan-2’s was referred to as “15 minutes of terror” by the then ISRO Chairman K. Sivan. Earlier this month, ISRO Chairman S. Somanath said that even if all sensors fail while attempting to make the soft landing on the lunar surface, the lander would still be able to land provided that the propulsion system works. Since then Earth-bound manoeuvres, crucial trans-lunar injection, lunar orbit insertion, orbit reduction manoeuvres were carried out along with the separation of the propulsion module and the lander module.
