Earlier, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announced that the moon landing by 'Chandrayaan-3' will be telecast live in all state-run schools in Uttar Pradesh
The Assam School Education Department has asked all schools to organise special assemblies of students to watch live stream of Chandrayaan-3 landing on the moon.
Actor Prakash Raj has been booked in a police station of Karnataka's Bagalkot district over a social media post, in which he allegedly mocked Chandrayaan-3.
India will be the fourth country in the world to achieve this feat after the United States, Russia, and China, but India will be the only country in the world to land on the lunar south pole.
The space agency also said the Mission Operations Complex had now more routes to communicate with the lander. In other words, the Chandrayaan-2 Orbiter will be the backup communication channel for ISRO with the lander.
Live actions will be available on the ISRO website, its YouTube channel, Facebook, and public broadcaster DD National TV from 17:27 IST on Aug 23, 2023.
Speaking to media during an event in the national capital, the 'Jab We Met' star shared that she is planning to watch Chandrayaan 3's landing on the moon with her little sons Taimur and Jeh.
The Chandrayaan-3 mission consists of a propulsion module (with a weight of 2,148 kg), a lander (weighing 1,723.89 kg), and a rover (with a mass of 26 kg).
