Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced the commencement of the 25.30-hour countdown for Chandrayaan-3, the country’s third moon mission. This expedition, scheduled for July 14, aims to achieve a soft landing on the moon’s surface, following Chandrayaan-2 mission in 2019. A successful outcome would place India in an exclusive group of nations, including the United States, China, and the former Soviet Union, that have accomplished this remarkable feat.
