Nambi Narayanan, a former scientist with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), praised Chandrayaan-3 on Thursday, calling it a possible game-changer that will inspire people all over the world. His remarks came just before India's ambitious lunar mission lifts off. He continued by saying that Chandrayaan-2's mistakes were tried to be avoided with the third lunar exploration mission.
"Chandrayaan-3 will undoubtedly change the game for India, and I sincerely hope it will be a success." India will inspire people all across the world. Let's hope for the best and watch the launch together," he remarked.

According to Narayanan, if the landing is successful, India will join the United States, China, and the erstwhile Soviet Union as the fourth nation to accomplish this accomplishment. In addition to advancing the economy and space industry, it will increase India's current participation by 2% in the 600 billion dollar sector.
The aerospace expert praised private actors in space technology, saying that it expands the potential for entrepreneurs and more financing to enter the field. According to Narayanan, "Many foreign countries may also arrive here with their startups or add to an existing startup."
According to Narayanan, who was the target of a plot to implicate him in an espionage case, a nation's ability to live depends on its ability to produce its own technology. "When compared to other nations, our spending for such missions is a pittance," he said.
Narayanan added that because the landing would occur on those dates, we would have to wait until August 23 or 24 to learn whether the mission was successful.
In order to undertake larger space missions, he also discussed the necessity of creating an Asian Space Agency (ASA) comparable to the European Space Agency (ESA), with or without China.
Despite making it to the Moon, Chandrayan-2 was unable to perform a soft landing because of technical and software problems.
The Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota will launch Chandrayaan-3 on a Launch Vehicle Mark-3 rocket on Friday at 2.35 p.m. A team of ISRO scientists visited the Tirupati Venkatachalapathy Temple with a scale replica of Chandrayaan-3 the day before the launch.
