The automatic landing sequence was set to begin at 5:44 PM IST, marking a critical phase of the mission. The Vikram lander then used its onboard computers to precisely navigate and land on the lunar surface.

Chandrayaan-3 follows the 2019 Chandrayaan-2 mission, marred by Vikram lander's crash. The mission's core objective is succinct—to exhibit ISRO's capacity for a successful lunar soft landing. A triumphant outcome would place India among an elite group—joining the United States, the Soviet Union, and China—in achieving this remarkable feat.
