Isro's Plan for Successful Chandrayaan-3 Landing Revealed

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is planning a safe landing for the Chandrayaan-3 mission's Vikram lander, even if its sensors or engines fail. The lander has been designed to make a soft landing on the lunar surface, even if all sensors and two engines do not work. ISRO Chairman S Somanath explained that the lander's design and robust algorithms ensure it can handle failures. The mission is scheduled to land on the Moon on August 23, with a series of de-orbiting maneuvers planned to bring the spacecraft closer to the lunar surface. One of the main challenges will be transitioning the lander from a horizontal to a vertical stance for a safe touchdown.
