ISRO Director Nilesh Desai’s statement has come on Chandrayaan 3. He said that the lander will try to land on the lunar surface on August 23 from an altitude of 30 km and at that time its speed will be 1.68 km per second. He said that our focus will be on reducing that speed, because the gravitational force of the moon will also play a role in this. If we don’t control that speed, there will be a possibility of crash landing. If any health parameter (of the lander module) is found abnormal on 23rd August, we will postpone the landing till 27th August.
