Taking to its Instagram handle, the streaming site posted, “This is your invitation to be part of history. Watch India’s historic touchdown, Chandrayaan 3 Live #countdowntohistory on 23 August at 4 pm on National Geographic and Disney Plus Hotstar.” The live will be hosted by Gaurav Kapoor and leading space experts.
India will become the first country to soft-land on the south pole of the moon which is anticipated because of the possibility of finding water. Chandrayaan-3 entered the lunar orbit on August 5. Thereafter, on August 6,9,14 and 16, the orbit reduction manoeuvers were carried out before the separation of both modules -- rover and lander-- on August 17.
