ISRO Inertial Systems Unit Director Padmakumar ES highlights the significance of precision in Chandrayaan-3\'s mission trajectory, due to its narrow error margins. Achieving a soft landing is deemed challenging and critical, given the complexity of maintaining the precise path required for a successful descent. ISRO\'s official announcement confirms Chandrayaan-3\'s scheduled Moon landing on August 23, 2023, around 18:04 IST. With just three days left, the spacecraft is nearing its destination, the Moon\'s south pole. ISRO aims for a successful soft landing, positioning India as the fourth nation to achieve this milestone after the United States, Russia, and China.
