New Delhi (August 25,2023) : The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has deleted a tweet that it had posted on Friday, August 25, about the Chandrayaan-3 mission. The tweet had said that the lander Vikram had successfully touched down on the lunar surface. However, the ISRO later clarified that the tweet was premature and that the lander was still in the process of landing. The ISRO has not yet released any information about the status of the lander. However, the deletion of the tweet has raised concerns about the mission.

The Chandrayaan-3 mission is India's third lunar mission. The first two missions, Chandrayaan-1 and Chandrayaan-2, were both successful. The Chandrayaan-3 mission is carrying a lander and a rover. The lander is designed to touch down on the lunar surface and deploy the rover. The rover will then explore the lunar surface. The Chandrayaan-3 mission is a major milestone for India's space program. The success of the mission would make India the fourth country to soft land a spacecraft on the moon.

The ISRO has not yet announced the reason for deleting the tweet. However, it is possible that the tweet was deleted because the ISRO was not yet sure about the status of the lander. The ISRO is expected to release more information about the status of the Chandrayaan-3 mission soon. The deletion of the tweet has raised concerns about the Chandrayaan-3 mission. However, it is important to wait for more information from the ISRO before making any judgments about the success or failure of the mission.
