If the Chandrayaan-3 mission lifts off on July 13 as planned, the lander would be ready to soft-land on the lunar surface on August 23, according to S. Somanath, Chairman, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), said.
Talking to reporters here on Friday, Mr. Somanath said the space agency has incorporated major improvements in the lander for the upcoming mission.
In 2019, the Vikram lander on Chandrayaan-2 had crashed on the lunar surface while attempting to land.
