Chandrayaan-3 Landing Updates: Chandrayaan-3 on Wednesday is getting closer to the moon and in just a matter of a few hours, the Indian spacecraft will script record by soft landing on the Moon's south pole region. Chandrayaan-3, which means "Mooncraft" in Sanskrit, is scheduled to touch down shortly after 6:00 pm India time (1230 GMT) near the little-explored lunar south pole.
