The spacecraft is now just three-day away from its final destination, the moon’s south pole

ISRO chairman S Somanath said that the lander, Vikram, will be able to make a soft landing on the Moon’s surface on August 23 even if all the sensors and two of its engines do not work. This is India’s third lunar mission to further explore the uncharted south pole of the lunar surface.

The landing will streamed live from 5.27 pm on August 23 at:

This came amid reports that Luna 25, Russian spacecraft, spun out of control and smashed into the moon before the planned lunar soft landing scheduled for August 21. “The apparatus moved into an unpredictable orbit and ceased to exist as a result of a collision with the surface of the Moon,” Roskosmos, Russia’s state space corporation, said in a statement, as quoted in the Reuters’ report.
