Chandrayaan-3's Lander Module accomplished two-way communication with Chandrayaan-2's orbiter on August 21, 2023. Chandrayaan-2, the second instalment of the lunar mission series launched in 2019, aimed to achieve a gentle landing on the Moon's southern pole. Nevertheless, it didn't manage to make a successful touchdown and communication was lost at an altitude of approximately 2.1 km.

Meanwhile, a senior ISRO scientist was quoted by a news agency ANI on Monday, stating, “If any factors appear to be unfavourable, then we will postpone the module's landing on the Moon to August 27.
