Bhas, we are told the impact probe will hit the rim of Shackleton. Do you have any source that gives a precise target point, in coordinates or on an image?

Phil,

May be the "actual target point" is not decided yet.
also, Since this is going to be "impact" probe, exact location may not (my guess) be that important.

as far as ISROs update : It would travel for about "28 minutes" from time it is released from the orbiter to impact point at polar region.
