Chandrayaan-3's landing is scheduled on August 23 at around 6:04 pm. Ahead of the historic moment, Amitabh Bachchan, R Madhavan to Anupam Kher and other celebs praised ISRO.
Why soft landing is important for Chandrayaan 3?
National Conference (NC) chief Farooq Abdullah and son Omar said that they are hopeful of India's Moon mission Chandrayaan-3's success.
The lunar south pole is a region of the Moon that has not been extensively explored by previous missions.
Historically, spacecraft missions to the Moon have primarily targeted the equatorial region due to its favourable terrain and operating conditions.
