Chandrayaan-3's journey on Moon will end on 15th day

The Chandrayaan-3 mission, orchestrated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), is a significant lunar exploration endeavor. It is expected to land on the Moon at 5.47 pm on August 23, 2023. 

Upon landing, the Chandrayaan-3 mission will operate for one lunar day, equivalent to 14 Earth days. This is because one day on the Moon is equal to 14 days on Earth. While the mission is designed for a 14-day duration, it is possible that it could surpass this timeframe. The mission features a lunar lander and a rover that will spend these 14 days carrying out scientific activities on the lunar surface. 

The Chandrayaan-3 mission follows the Chandrayaan-2 mission, which unfortunately experienced a failure due to a malfunction in the spacecraft's main engine during the orbit insertion burn. However, ISRO has learned from this experience and has upgraded the lander’s software and performed numerous tests to ensure that Chandrayaan-3 goes according to plan.
