India waiting for Moon landing
The nation will pray together on Wednesday as the country's third lunar mission Chandrayaan-3 is expected to land on the surface of the Moon later in the evening.
The special moment of landing will be telecast live.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Tuesday said the Chandrayaan-3 mission is on schedule and sailing smoothly for a soft landing on the South Polar Region of the Moon on Wednesday evening.
The systems are undergoing regular checks and the Mission Operations Complex (MOX) was buzzing with energy and excitement.
