When will the moon landing happen?

Chandrayaan-3 mission is the third unmanned moon mission of India. With the completion of Lunar Orbit Insertion, the spacecraft has covered two-thirds of its distance to the moon. Now its next stop is soft landing on the surface of the Moon. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) told that the spacecraft is going to land on the lunar surface on 23 August. After separating from the propulsion, the lander will reach the surface and the rover will come out of it, so that scientific research can be done on the lunar surface.

What is the purpose of the mission?

The objective of the Chandrayaan-3 mission is to make a safe and soft landing on the lunar surface. After this, the rover will come out from the lander, which is going to revolve on the surface of the moon. It will be run on the rough surface of the moon. Under the mission, many experiments will be done on the surface of the moon itself.
