BENGALARU: India readied Wednesday for its latest attempted moon landing, a historic moment for the world's most populous nation as it rapidly closes in on milestones set by global space powers.
"It is giving some encouragement that we will be able to achieve the landing mission without any problem," he told AFP on Monday. "Chandrayaan-3 is going to go with more ruggedness," he said."We have confidence, and we expect that everything will go smoothly."The mission launched nearly six weeks ago in front of thousands of cheering spectators, but took much longer to reach the moon than those of the Apollo missions in the 1960s and 1970s, which arrived in a matter of days.
A day ahead of the landing, the ISRO said on social media the landing was proceeding on schedule and that its mission control complex was"buzzed with energy & excitement".India has a comparatively low-budget aerospace programme, but one that has grown considerably in size and momentum since it first sent a probe to orbit the Moon in 2008.
