India‘s Chandrayaan-3 mission is all set to attempt a landing on the Moon‘s south pole on Wednesday. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has planned the live telecast of the same for various times across the globe:
- New York (EDT): 8:34 AM
- Los Angeles (PDT): 5:34 AM
- London (BST): 1:34 PM
- New Delhi (IST): 6:04 PM
- Tokyo (JST): 9:34 PM
- Sydney (AEST): 10:34 PM
ISRO has one of the lowest budgets in the Space Race, yet it Delivers time and again
The live telecast is scheduled to start at 3:50 AM EDT, and you can tune in early Wednesday morning (US time) to watch the Indian lander’s descent.
This mission is a big deal for India. Chandrayaan-3 comes after the failure of Chandrayaan-2 in 2019, which crashed on its way to the Moon. But ISRO has learned from that experience. The new mission has a better design, with changes to the landing area, software updates, and backup systems.
The Moon’s south pole is a tough place to land. It has rough ground and lots of shadows from craters. But it’s also exciting because scientists think there might be water ice there. This could help with future trips to the Moon.
ISRO is keeping everyone updated on the mission through its X account (formerly Twitter). They posted early on Tuesday, “The mission is on schedule. Systems are undergoing regular checks. Smooth sailing is continuing.” India’s Chandrayaan-3 mission shows how the country is growing in space technology. The world will be watching to see if they can pull off a soft landing on the Moon’s south pole. It would be a big step forward for space exploration. The space agency has one of the lowest funding budgets in the world, but it has made significant headlines in the past. Fingers crossed!
