If there is a difficulty with the landing, the Indian Space Research Organization, or ISRO, can also adjust the time. Nilesh M. Desai, an ISRO scientist, provided this information. If there is an issue with the already set date of August 23, he has stated that the process can possibly be delayed to August 27.
Citing plans for the upcoming soft landing, Desai, the head of ISRO’s Space Applications Center located in Ahmedabad, shared insights. He revealed, ‘By August 23, a verdict will be reached on the moon landing of Chandrayaan-3, approximately two hours before its intended touchdown.
The final decision hinges on the well-being of the lander module and lunar surface conditions. If circumstances are unfavorable, an alternative landing date of August 27 has been earmarked. We remain optimistic about a successful landing on August 23, expecting no complications.
