Chandrayaan 3 Moon Landing LIVE Updates:  India became the fourth country in the world to have mastered the technology of soft landing on the lunar surface after the US, China, and the Soviet Union. The Lander Module landed on the moon today at the scheduled 06:04 PM.

Considering the chronicle of India's preceding lunar mission, which encountered an unsuccessful outcome within the final 20 minutes prior to its landing endeavor, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is exercising heightened prudence during the current undertaking.

Owing to the substantial jeopardy posed to the spacecraft during the closing minutes preceding lunar touchdown, this interval was colloquially termed the "20 or 17 minutes of terror". Within this juncture, the operational procedure would transition into a state of autonomy, wherein the Vikram lander would be required to activate its propulsion systems at precise moments and altitudinal thresholds.
