In a matter of mere hours, India stands on the brink of a historic achievement in lunar exploration. The upcoming Chandrayaan-3 mission, led by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), primed to make an audacious landing at the Moon’s South Pole.
Central to this endeavor is the Vikram Lunar lander, whose flawless performance is pivotal.
The moment of truth, the issuance of the landing directive, will emanate from the ISRO Mission Operations Complex (MOX) nestled within the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking, and Command Network (ISTRAC) located in Bengaluru.
