India is all set to make history with the Chandrayaan-3 moon mission which is set to achieve a soft landing on the lunar surface. Like every proud Indian, Kareena has expressed her excitement over the same and revealed her plans to watch the same.
In a recent media interaction at 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.
“It’s a great and proud moment for India and all the Indians. You feel that pride in your heart. As Indians, all of us right now, are waiting to watch it. A lot of people are going to be glued to watching it. I am going to be doing that with my boys as well, with bated breath,” Kareena was quoted as saying by India.com.
India’s Chandrayaan-3 is set to land on the moon on August 23, 2023, around 18:04 hours IST. Live updates will be featured on the ISRO website, its YouTube channel, Facebook, and public broadcaster DD National TV from 17:27 IST on Aug 23, 2023.
Recently, ISRO made waves as it released images of the lunar far side area captured by the Lander Hazard Detection and Avoidance Camera (LHDAC). The camera will reportedly assist in locating a safe landing area - without boulders or deep trenches - during the descent.
The ‘Vikram’ lander module of the spacecraft, which is named after Vikram Sarabhai (1919–1971), successfully separated from the propulsion module recently and subsequently underwent crucial deboosting manoeuvres and descended to a slightly lower orbit.
